Father, see Thy child­ren bend­ing at Thy throne,
On this alone my hopes de­pend,
start
And now, be­fore His Fa­ther God,
For whom He once came down to die.
The Church which Thou hast plant­ed there.
Still He is lov­ing­ly
Came from the man­sions of Heav­en ab­ove,
That Thy Spir­it gives.
For Him we count but loss.
O why not say Yes to the Sav­ior to­night?
Fall pros­trate at the Sav­ior’s feet,
Waiting the penitent child to receive;
Brother, come, while yet there’s par­don,
To Him the hands of faith we stretch,
Waiting the pe­ni­tent child to re­ceive;
Calling, O sinner, come home!
And now, before His Father, God,
And now, before His Father, God,
Don’t de­lay, don’t de­lay.

plead

Pleading here be­fore Thee all His dy­ing love,
When wea­ry in the Christ­ian race,
Thy won­drous love to me;
Pleads the full mer­it of His blood.
He pleads with God, He pleads for thee;
We plead Thy Son’s aton­ing blood,
Pleading with you,
Pleading for me, for me:
Shall we plead in vain?
Jesus pleads for us in Heav­en,
To come to Him now with thy sin bur­dened heart
Come, sin­ner, now, and hum­bly bow,
Plead with them gently;
Oh, the crim­son wave now is flow­ing,
To Him the voice of pray­er we raise,
He will for­give if they on­ly be­lieve.
Pleading for you and for me?
Repeated crimes awake our fears,
Repeated crimes awake our fears,
Pleads to­day, pleads to­day,
