¶Lyrics / Text

:'''Allen and Batty, ''A Collection of Hymns for Those That Seek'', London, England, 1757''' 1. Savior, I do feel thy merit, Sprinkled with redeeming blood; And my weary troubled spirit Now finds rest in thee, my God : I am safe, and I am happy, While in thy dear arms I lie, Sin and Satan cannot hurt me, When the Savior is so nigh. 2. Now I'll sing of Jesus' merit, Tell the world of his dear name; That if any want his Spirit, He is still the very same: He that asketh, soon receiveth, He that seeks is sure to find; Come, for whosoever believeth, He will never cast behind. 3. Now our advocate is pleading With his Father, and our God; Now for us he's interceding, As the purchase of his blood : Now methinks I hear him, praying, Father, save them, I have died; And the Father answers, saying, They are freely justified.
