Hymn 251 – WHEN at Thy footstool Lord I bend | C&S English Hymnary

1. WHEN at Thy footstool Lord I bend And plead with Thee for mercy there, Think of the sinner‘s dying friend, And for His sake receive my prayer. 2. Oh think not of my shame and guilt My thousand stains of deepest dye Think of the blood, which Jesus spilt My pardon and my life to buy. 3. Think, Lord, how I am still thine own The trembling creature of thy hand, Think how my heart to sin is prone And what temptations round me stand. 4. Oh think upon thy holy word And every plighted promise there, How prayer should evermore be heard And how thy Glory is to spare. 5. Oh think not of my doubts and fears My strivings with Thy grace divine; Think upon Jesus‘ woes and tears And let His merits stand for mine. 6. Thine eye, Thine car, they are not dull Thine arm can never shorten’d be, Behold me here; my heart is full Behold, and spare, and succour me AMEN
