And wilt Thou yet be found,
And may I still draw near?
Then listen to the plaintive sound
Of a poor sinner's prayer.
Jesus, thine aid afford,
If still the same thou art: to thee I look, to thee, my Lord,
I lift my helpless heart.
Thou seest my troubled breast,
The strugglings of my will,
The foes that interrupt my rest,
The agonies I feel.
O my offended Lord,
Restore my inward peace;
I know thou canst; pronounce the word,
And bid the tempest cease.
I long to see thy face;
Thy Spirit I implore--The living water of thy grace
That I may thirst no more.
