Wherewith O God Shall I Draw Near [#WherewithOGod #IDrawNear #DrawNear]

Song written by:
Original in English: Charles Wesley

1
Wherewith O God shall I draw near
And bow myself before Thy face
How in Thy purer eyes appear
What shall I bring to gain Thy grace

2
Whoe’er to Thee themselves approve
Must take the path Thy word hath showed
Justice pursue and mercy love
And humbly walk by faith with God

3
But though my life henceforth be Thine
Present for past can ne’er atone
Though I to Thee the whole resign
I only give Thee back Thine own

4
What have I then wherein to trust
I nothing have I nothing am
Excluded is my every boast
My glory swallowed up in shame

5
Guilty I stand before Thy face
On me I feel Thy wrath abide
‘Tis just the sentence should take place
‘Tis just- but O Thy Son hath died

6
Jesus the Lamb of God hath bled
He bore our sins upon the tree
Beneath our curse He bowed His head
‘Tis finished He hath died for me

7
See where before the throne He stands
And pours the all-prevailing prayer
Points to His side and lifts His hands
And shows that I am graven there

8
He ever lives for me to pray
He prays that I with Him may reign
Amen to what my Lord doth say
Jesus Thou canst not pray in vain

Amen
