Whose hope still hovering round thy word,
Would light on some sweet promise there,
Some sure support against despair. Languages: English

Afar from thine and wisdom's way,
And see no glimmering, guiding ray,
Still, Saviour, plead for me.

Strives from thy cross to loose my hold,
Then with thy pitying arms enfold,
And plead, oh, plead for me!

Darkened with anguish, guilt and fear,
Then to my fainting sight appear,
Pleading in heaven for me. Languages: English
