CHRIST JESUS, ADVOCATE WITH GOD

(Tune:
Faith of Our Fathers #183 88.88.88)
Christ
Jesus, Advocate with God,
My only
trust is in Your blood.
None
can remove my guilt and blame,
But
You, great sin-atoning Lamb!
The
merits of Your death impart,
Speak
peace to this poor sinner's heart.
Dear
Savior, hear my humble prayer,
Come
drive away my doubts and fears.
Dear
Prince of Peace, with peace return,
Great
Comforter of all that mourn!
Declare
my many sins forgiv'n,
And
guide me safely on to heav'n.
Oh,
keep me Savior, day by day,
Walking
the strait and narrow way,
Denying
all self-righteousness,
Trusting
Your blood and righteousness.
I have
no hope but God's free grace
In You, "The LORD MY RIGHTEOUSNESS!"
