Lyrics from Songs of Pilgrimage: A Hymnal for the Churches of Christ, 1888 (p. 288)

1. Thou Prince of glory, slain for me,
In deep distress I fly to Thee
Who didst my soul redeem,
Who didst my soul redeem.
Oh, from thy Father's throne on high,
Hear thou my penitential cry,
And wash and make me clean,
And wash and make me clean.

2. A lab'ring, heavyladen soul,
On Thee my ev'ry care I roll,
Though burdened and distressed,
Though burdened and distressed.
Thy meek and lowly grace I see,
And take thy yoke and learn of Thee,
For thou wilt give me rest,
For thou wilt give me rest.

3. Close to thy pierced and bleeding side,
In trustful love I safe abide,
By grace divine made whole,
By grace divine made whole.
In Thee, my Way, my Truth, my Life,
Amid earth's turmoil, sin and strife,
I rest my weary soul,
I rest my weary soul.

4. Sheltered within the riven Rock,
I dread no storm nor tempest shock,
But trust thy matchless grace,
But trust thy matchless grace,
And wait in hope the joyful hour,
When I shall see Thee come in pow'r,
And gaze upon thy face,
And gaze upon thy face.

5. Lord, grant that in that joyful day,
When thou shalt call thy saints away,
By thy commanding word,
By thy commanding word,
That I may join thee in the air;
And dwell with all the holy there,
Forever with the Lord,
Forever with the Lord.
