No, not despairingly
Horatius Bonar (1866) • English
Primary Scripture: Psalm 51:7
Verse 1
No, not despairingly come I to Thee; no, not distrustingly bend I the knee; sin hath gone over me, yet is this still my plea, Jesus hath died.
Verse 2
Ah! Mine iniquity crimson has been, infinite, infinite, sin upon sin; sin of not loving Thee, sin of not trusting Thee, infinite sin.
Verse 3
Lord, I confess to Thee sadly my sin; all I am, tell to Thee, all I have been; purge Thou my sin away, wash Thou my soul this day; Lord, make me clean.
Verse 4
Faithful and just art Thou, forgiving all; loving and kind art Thou when poor ones call; Lord, let the cleansing blood, blood of the Lamb of God, pass o'er my soul.
Verse 5
Then all is peace and light this soul within; thus shall I walk with Thee, the loved Unseen; leaning on Thee, my God, guided along the road, nothing between.
