Lyics

IS IT for me, dear Saviour,

Thy glory and thy rest-

For me, so weak and sinful?

O shall I be so blest?-CHO.



CHO.-O Sav-iour, my Re-deem-er,

What can I but a-dore, 

And mag-ni-fy and praises thee,

And love thee ever-more?



Is it for me, thy welcome,

Thy gracious "Enter in"-

For me thy "Come, ye blessed,"

For me, so full of sin?-CHO.



O Saviour, precious Saviour,

My heart is at thy feet;

I bless thee, and I love thee,

And thee I long to meet.-CHO.



I'll be with thee forever,

And never grieve thee more;

Dear Saviour, I must praise thee,

And love thee evermore.-CHO.
