Old-Line Primitive Baptist Hymn and Tune Book

570 (C.M.) John Fellows

Dear Lord, and will Thy pard'ning love

Embrace a wretch so vile?

Wilt Thou my load of guilt remove,

And bless me with Thy smile?

Hast Thou the cross for me endured,

And all its shame despised?

And shall I be ashamed, O Lord,

With Thee to be baptized?

Didst Thou, the great example, lead

In Jordan's swelling flood?

And shall my pride disdain the deed

That's worthy of my God?

Dear Lord, the ardour of Thy love

Reproves my cold delays;

And now my willing footsteps move

In Thy delightful ways.
