Small Saturday Song (A New Hymn)

   One of my favorite TLH hymns to sing (# 261) was the inspiration for this quick one...

CHRIST COME AND FORGIVE

 

Words: Jay Watson 2013

Tune: Erhalt uns Herr, Geistliche Lieder, Wittenberg, 1548

Meter: L.M.

Source: TLH # 261

 

 Christ come and forgive our foul sin

 Let not our guilt remain within

 Crush down our ego with Thy Law

 Pierce our black heart and flay it raw

 

 Wash and absolve us in Thy blood

 Our trespasses cleanse in the flood

 Thy death and suff’ring on the Cross

 Thy life and death atones for us

 

 Praise Holy Ghost to Thee we sing

 Praise to Our Father Abba King

 Praise Jesus Son forever more

 Praise Trinity Whom we adore
