Fain Would I, Lord of Grace (EN 2504)

EN 2504 Fain Would I, Lord of Grace

Jer.8.22

Versi Version 1

1

Fain would I, Lord of grace,

With penitential tears

The record of my sins efface,

That in Thy book appears:

2

Fain would I journey hence,

In garb of stainless white,

And made by mine own penitence

Well pleasing in Thy sight.

3

Fond idle dream! the foe

But lures and fools my soul;

Not all my tears can peace bestow—

Thou only makest whole.

4

Hath ever sailor tossed,

Or sufferer racked in pain,

Within Thine anchorage been lost,

Or found Thy Gilead vain?

5

Maker and Hope of all!

Wounded and sick am I:

Great Healer, save me, lest I fall

And perish utterly.

6

Can boundless love reject?

Shall mercy say me nay,

Who cry with all Thine own elect

Before Thee, night and day?
