Lord! I cannot let thee go
1
Lord! I cannot let thee go,Till a blessing thou bestow;Do not turn away thy face,Mine 's an urgent, pressing case.
2
Once a sinner, near despair,Sought thy mercy-seat by prayer;Mercy heard and set him free;—Lord! that mercy came to me.
3
Many days have passed since then,Many changes I have seen;Yet have been upheld till now;Who could hold me up but thou?
4
Thou hast helped in every need,This emboldens me to plead;After so much mercy past,Canst thou let me sink at last?
5
No, I must maintain my hold;'T is thy goodness makes me bold;I can no denial take,Since I plead for Jesus' sake.
