Lord, Rebuke Thy Servant Not

Verse 1

Lord, rebuke Thy servant not In thine anger fierce and hot, For Thy wrath I cannot bear, Pity me and hear my pray'r. Leave me not in deep distress, Look upon my helplessness; Abba Father, oh, I pray, Turn Thy heavy wrath away.

Verse 2

My shortcomings I confess, But Thou art my righteousness, Without Thee I would not dare E'en attempt to make a pray'r. Lord, if sin lies at the door, Give me grace to sin no more, But, O Lord, in pity heed My heart-groanings as I plead.

Verse 3

Lord, Thy favor now restore, Bind my wound and heal my sore, Loose my body from this pain, Give me health and peace again. But, O Lord, deep in my soul Let the floods of glory roll! Hallelujah! I am free. Lord, by faith, by faith in Thee!
