Blessèd Savior, Hear My Prayer

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.

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.

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.

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.
