2 Remember thy pure word of grace,-- Remember Calvary; Remember all thy dying groans, And, then, remember me. 3 Thou wondrous Advocate with God! I yield myself to thee; While thou art sitting on thy throne, Dear Lord! remember me. 4 Lord! I am guilty--I am vile, But thy salvation's free; Then, in thine all abounding grace, Dear Lord! remember me. Richard Burnham, 1783, _a._ 240 Brown. C.M. _Approaching the Mercy-Seat._ (482) Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat, Where Jesus answers prayer; There humbly fall before his feet, For none can perish there. 2 Thy promise is my only plea, With this I venture nigh; Thou call'st the burdened souls to thee, And such, O Lord, am I. 3 Bowed down beneath a load of sin, By Satan sorely pressed; By wars without and fears within, I come to thee for rest. 4 Oh, wondrous love! to bleed and die, To bear the cross and shame; That guilty sinners, such as I, Might plead thy gracious name. John Newton, 1779. 241 Take Me As I Am. P.M. _No Hope in Self._ Jesus, my Lord, to thee I cry; Unless thou help me, I must die; Oh, bring thy free salvation nigh And take me as I am. Ref.--Take me as I am, Take me as I am; Oh, bring thy free salvation nigh, And take me as I am. 2 Helpless I am, and full of guilt, But yet for me thy blood was spilt, And thou canst make me as thou wilt, But take me as I am. 3 I thirst, I long to know thy love, Thy full salvation I would prove; But since to thee I cannot move Oh, take me as I am. 4 If thou hast work for me to do, Inspire my will, my heart renew, And work both in and by me, too, But take me as I am. 5 And when at last the work is done. The battle o'er, the victory won, Still, still my cry shall be alone, Oh, take me as I am. Eliza H. Hamilton. 242 Fix Your Eyes Upon Jesus. P.M. _The Source of Peace._ Would you lose your load of sin? Fix your eyes upon Jesus; Would you know God's peace within? Fix your eyes upon Jesus. Cho.--Jesus who on the cross did die, Jesus who lives and reigns on high, He alone can justify; Fix your eyes upon Jesus. 2 Would you calmly walk the wave? Fix your eyes upon Jesus; Would you know his pow'r to save? Fix your eyes upon Jesus. 3 Would you have your cares grow light? Fix your eyes upon Jesus; Would you songs have in the night? Fix your eyes upon Jesus. 4 Grieving, would you comfort know? Fix your eyes upon Jesus; Humble be when blessings flow? Fix your eyes upon Jesus. 5 Would you strength in weakness have? Fix your eyes upon Jesus; See a light beyond the grave? Fix your eyes upon Jesus. D. W. Whittle. 243 At the Cross. C.M. _Rom. 5:2._ (664) I stand; but not as once I did, Beneath my load of guilt; The blessed Jesus bore it all-- For me his blood was spilt.
