SALVATION.

By M. E. S.

JESUS, lovely Lamb of God, Friend and Shepherd of my heart, Hear me while with thee I plead, And thy tender love impart. Let me at thy feet recline; Those same feet that once on earth— Weary, way-worn and alone, Trod the winepress of God's wrath.
O, I'd love that blessed place; Love to lie there now and be Molded by thy fashioning grace, Made from every sin-spot free. Saviour, bleeding One, I pray, Listen to my humble cry; Thou hast opened up a way For the guilty, such as I.
Thou wast wounded, pierced and slain; Jesus bled and died that I Might be cleansed from every stain. Now dear Saviour purify; From dead works my conscience purge; Cleanse, O, cleanse me from all sin! Spirit, soul and body surge, With thy blood and make me clean.
Save me from the law of sin, Save me from the carnal mind; Make me spotless, pure within, And in thee perfection find. I believe; oh help, dear Lord! Help my cruel unbelief! Faith takes hold upon thy word, Now I find in thee relief.
O how free, how richly blest thus to lie at Jesus' feet! While his smile on me doth rest, This is happiness complete. M. E. S.
