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.
