Blessed Savior, Hear My Prayer

Verse 1

Blessèd Savior, hear my prayer, As I kneel before Thee, Pleading for Thy love and care; Spread Thy mantle o’er me; I have wandered from Thy fold, And my heart is weary, Traveling thro’ the storm and cold Of this desert dreary.

Verse 2

All unworthy though I be, Grant me, Lord, Thy favor, While I humbly bow the knee, Hear my prayer, O Savior; For the sins that cause Thee pain, Give me deep contrition; Speak Thy cleansing once again, Pity my condition.

Verse 3

Thou dost hear the humblest cry Which in faith is spoken, And the radiant, sunlight sky Speaks Thy love unbroken; May I walk at Thy dear side, Ne’er from Thee to sever; Let me, at life’s eventide, Dwell with Thee forever.

Verse 4

There I’ll praise Thee for Thy love Which on earth has sought me, Praise Thee with the hosts above, For the blood that bought me; For the matchless wondrous grace Which to me was given, And by which I won the race, Palm, and crown, and Heaven.
