A Plea for Salvation

Verse 1

Lord, in Thee am I confiding; Thou wilt answer when I call, Lest my foes, the good deriding, Triumph in Thy servant's fall.

Verse 2

I am prone to halt and stumble, Grief and sorrow dwell within, Shame and guilt my spirit humble, I am sorry for my sin.

Verse 3

Foes about my soul are closing, Full of hatred, false and strong; Choosing good, I find opposing All who love and do the wrong.

Verse 4

Lord, my God, do not forsake me, Let me know that Thou art near, Under Thy protection take me, As my Savior now appear.
