WHILE dead in trespasses I lie,By A Collection of Hymns C.M. SECOND PART 1 WHILE dead in trespasses I lie, Thy quickening spirit give; Call me, thou Son of God, that I May hear thy voice and live.
2 While, full of anguish and disease My weak distempered soul Thy love compassionately sees, O let it make me whole! 3 Cast out thy foes, and let them still To Jesu's name submit; Clothe with thy righteousness, and heal And place me at thy feet. 4 To Jesu's name if all things now A trembling homage pay, O let my stubborn spirit bow, My stiff-necked will obey! 5 Impotent, dumb, and deaf, and blind, And sick, and poor I am, But sure a remedy to find For all in Jesu's name. 6 I know in thee all fulness dwells, And all for wretched man; Fill every want my spirit feels, And break off every chain. 7 If thou impart thyself to me, No other good I need; If thou, the Son, shalt make me free, I shall be free indeed. 8 I cannot rest till in thy blood I full redemption have; But thou, through whom I come to God, Canst to the utmost save. 9 From sin, the guilt, the power, the pain, Thou wilt redeem my soul; Lord, I believe, and not in vain, My faith shall make me whole. 10 I too with thee shall walk in white, With all thy saints shall prove What is the length, and breadth, and height, And depth of perfect love.
