| Added by crosby3145, 12 Sep 2017 No, Not Despairingly This hymn, though an original text, is rather like a psalm. Specifically, it is like those psalms in which the author confesses his sin before God. The words in this piece talk about the unworthiness of the believer to come to salvation, yet the overall message is cheerful, because the believer can put his trust in Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. Thus, we can pray without despair, knowing that God counts Jesus’ payment as our worthiness. 1. No, not despairingly come I to Thee; No, not distrustingly bend I the knee; Sin hath gone over me, Yet is this still me 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 I 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. Nothing seems to be known about the composer, Ann B. Spratt, so maybe this was just a one-hit wonder. If so, though, I’m certainly glad this tune by her has survived! If this arrangement is too long for your purposes, just start at measure 21. | |||
