Confidence

Oppressed with sin and woe,A burdened heart I bear,Opposed by many a mighty foe;But I will not despair.

With this polluted heart,I dare to come to Thee,Holy and mighty as Thou art;For Thou wilt pardon me.

I feel that I am weak,And prone to every sin;But Thou who giv'st to those who seek,Wilt give me strength within.

Far as this earth may beFrom yonder starry skies,Remoter still am I from Thee;Yet Thou wilt not despise.

I need not fear my foes,I need not yield to care,I need not sink beneath my woes;For Thou wilt answer prayer.

In my Redeemer's nameI give myself to Thee;And all unworthy as I am,My God will cherish me.

O make me wholly Thine!Thy love to me impart,And let Thy holy Spirit shineFor ever on my heart!
