[No good thing belongs to me]
As for me, I am poor and needy, &c.
—xl. 20, 21.
No good thing belongs to me,
Sink of sin and misery;
Destitute and poor indeed,
Needing Christ, I all things need.
But the Lord is rich in grace,
Saviour of the sinful race;
Friend of helpless misery,
Jesus loves and cares for me.
Sink of sin and misery;
Destitute and poor indeed,
Needing Christ, I all things need.
But the Lord is rich in grace,
Saviour of the sinful race;
Friend of helpless misery,
Jesus loves and cares for me.
Yes, I Thee my Helper know,
Kept from everlasting woe;
Thee my daily Saviour feel,
Rescued on the verge of hell.
Yet I for Thy presence stay;
Come, and take my sins away,
Haste, my God, Thyself to' impart,
Save by dwelling in my heart.
Kept from everlasting woe;
Thee my daily Saviour feel,
Rescued on the verge of hell.
Yet I for Thy presence stay;
Come, and take my sins away,
Haste, my God, Thyself to' impart,
Save by dwelling in my heart.
