Almighty Savior

Almighty Savior, hear my prayer,
and heal my soul with sorrow torn;
A wounded spirit who can bear,
yet by Thy help it can be born.

Give me, O Lord, repenting power
to crush my haughty nature low;
To make me watchful ev’ry hour,
and guard my steps where e’er I go.

Thy mercy, Lord, from time to time
has reached my soul when sore oppressed.
Thou didst pass by my ev’ry crime,
I with forgiving love was blest.

Thou hast declared all souls were thine,
and I’ll confirm thy righteous claim;
And for a proof I’ll give up mine
in honor to Thy sacred name.

Once more kind Savior condescend
to satiate this soul of mine.
And from henceforth till time shall end
this soul forever shall be thine.

So I’ll relinquish all demands,
for any good I’ve ever done.
I’ll throw my soul into Thy hands
and trust Thy mercy, that alone.
