Hymn

The Sinner's Trust

Augustus Toplady

O Thou that hear’st the prayer of faith,

Wilt Thou not save a soul from death,

That casts itself on Thee?

I have no refuge of my own,

But fly to what my Lord hath done

And suffered once for me.

Slain in the guilty sinner’s stead,

His spotless Righteousness I plead,

And His atoning Blood:

Thy Righteousness my robe shall be,

Thy Merit shall atone for me,

And bring me near to God.

Then save me from eternal death,

The Spirit of adoption breathe,

His consolation send;

By Him some word of life impart,

And sweetly whisper to my heart,

"Thy Maker is thy Friend."

Amen.
