1. Not worthy, Lord! to gather up the crumbs
with trembling hand that from thy table fall,
a weary, heavy-laden sinner comes
to plead thy promise and obey thy call.
2. I am not worthy to be thought thy child,
nor sit the last and lowest at thy board;
too long a wand’rer and too oft beguiled,
I only ask one reconciling word.
3. One word from thee, my Lord, one smile, one look,
and I could face the cold, rough world again;
And with that treasure in my heart could brook
the wrath of devils and the scorn of men.
4. I hear thy voice; thou bidd’st me come and rest;
I come, I kneel, I clasp thy pierced feet;
thou bidd’st me take my place, a welcome guest
among thy saints, and of thy banquet eat.
5. My praise can only breathe itself in prayer,
my prayer can only lose itself in thee;
dwell thou forever in my heart, and there,
Lord, let me sup with thee; sup thou with me.
What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Refrain
Oh! precious is the flow that makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know, nothing but the blood of Jesus.
For my pardon, this I see, Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my cleansing this my plea, nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Nothing can for sin atone, nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Naught of good that I have done, nothing but the blood of Jesus.
This is all my hope and peace, nothing but the blood of Jesus;
This is all my righteousness, nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Glory! Glory! This I sing, nothing but the blood of Jesus,
All my praise for this I bring, nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Now by this I’ll overcome, nothing but the blood of Jesus,
Now by this I’ll reach my home, nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Now I Belong to Jesus
1. Jesus my Lord will love me forever
From Him no power of evil can sever
He gave His life to ransom my soul
Now I belong to Him.
Chorus:
Now I belong to Jesus
Jesus belongs to me
Not for the years of time alone
But for eternity
2. Once I was lost in sin’s degradation
Jesus came down to bring me salvation
Lifted me up from sorrow and shame
Now I belong to Him.
3. Joy floods my soul for Jesus has saved me
Freed me from sin that long had enslaved me
His precious blood He gave to redeem
Now I belong to Him.
Now thank we all our God,
With heart and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things hath done,
In whom His world rejoices;
Who from our mother’s arms
Hath blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love,
And still is ours to-day.
O may this bounteous God
Through all our life be near us,
With ever joyful hearts
And blessed peace to cheer us;
And keep us in his grace,
And guide us when perplexed,
And free us from all ills
In this world and the next.
All praise and thanks to God
The Father now be given,
The son, and him who reigns,
With them in highest heaven,
The one eternal God,
Whom earth and heaven adore;
For thus it was, is now,
And shall be evermore.
