WE CLING TO YOUR SAVING CROSS
by Henry Law A review of this day causes us to hide our faces
in the dust of shame. Our best works are vile and hateful
in our own sight. What then must they be in yours? If our purest worship is unclean,
how must our open transgressions rise in condemnation? Have mercy,
have mercy upon us, for your dear Son's sake. Have mercy,
have mercy upon us, according to the multitude of your tender
mercies. Have mercy, have mercy upon us,
for the great glory of your great name. May we retire to our rest this
night, O blessed Saviour, in the happy assurance that Your
blood cleanses from all sin. We know that You will never cast
out the people or the prayers of those who flee to You. To
You we now come. We clasp by faith Your precious
promises. We cling to your saving cross. We desire to wrestle with you
in the might of faith, not letting you go until you bless us.
