My Redeemer, let me be | |||
Quite happy at thy feet; | |||
Still to know myself and thee, | |||
Be this my bitter sweet: | |||
Look upon my infant state, | |||
And with a father’s yearning bless; | |||
Don’t thy ransom’d child forget, | |||
Nor leave me in distress.}} | |||

I have foolishly abused | |||
My | My Saviour's bleeding love; | ||
All Thy gifts, my God, misused, | |||
When by temptation drove : | |||
Justly I deserved to be | |||
Forsaken by my Lord and God ; | |||
Yet shall justice plead for me, | |||
For whom Thou shed'st Thy blood.}} | |||

{{Text|Simple| | |||
Thy blest smiles, my gracious Lord, | |||
Shall cheer my drooping Heart; | |||
I'm instructed in Thy word, | |||
That Thou unchanging art: | |||
Draw me to the depth profound | |||
Of all Thy sorrows, blood and sweat, | |||
Passing on, through every Wound, | |||
Unto Thy mercy seat.}} | |||

There, reclining on thy breast, | |||
Th'eternal Sabbath find; | |||
Proving in Thee perfect Rest | |||
To my poor laboring mind; | |||
Waiting till my Lord I see, | |||
And be like Him forever pure, | |||
At the heavenly jubilee, | |||
This bliss to me is sure.}} | |||
