[Jesus I Thy merits plead]

And whatsoever ye shall ask in My name, &c. —xiv. 13.

Jesus I Thy merits plead,
Who didst my nature take,
Whatsoe'er Thou know'st I need
I ask it for Thy sake:
Do the thing my case requires;
(My helpless case to Thee is known;)
Satisfy Thine own desires,
And take me to Thy throne.
All this mountain load remove
Of guilt and misery,
That Thy Father's power and love
May shine display'd in Thee:
Fit my soul with Thee to live
Who hast for my salvation died;
Then Thou shalt the praise receive,
And God be glorified.
