Old hymn book celebration no. 1: Hymn 495 in Great Commission Pubs' Trinity Hymnal of 1990. Intro and 5 verses in case it is desired for accompaniment.
Author: Horatius Bonar (1866) -- Tune: KEDRON (Spratt)

1 No, not despairingly Come I to Thee;
No, not distrustingly Bend I the knee:
Sin hath gone over me, Yet is this still my plea,
Jesus hath died.

2 Ah! Mine iniquity Crimson has been,
Infinite, infinite, Sin upon sin;
Sin of not loving Thee, Sin of not trusting Thee,
Infinite sin.

3 Lord, I confess to Thee Sadly my sin;
All am tell I Thee, All I have been:
Purge Thou my sin away, Wash Thou my soul this day;
Lord, make me clean.

4 Faithful and just art Thou, Forgiving all;
Loving and kind art Thou When poor ones call:
Lord, let the cleansing blood, Blood of the Lamb of God,
Pass o'er my soul.

5 Then all is peace and light This soul within;
Thus shall I walk with Thee, The loved Unseen;
Leaning on Thee, my God, Guided along the road,
Nothing between.
