Lyrics

Loving Sav­ior, hear my cry,
Hear my cry, hear my cry;
Trembling to Thy arms I fly,
Oh, save me at the cross.
I have sinned, but Thou hast died,
Thou hast died, Thou hast died;
In Thy mer­cy let me hide,
Oh, save me at the cross.

Refrain

Lord Je­sus, re­ceive me,
No more would I grieve Thee;
Now, bless­èd Re­deem­er,
Oh, save me at the cross.

Though I per­ish I will pray,
I will pray, I will pray;
Thou of life the Liv­ing Way,
Oh, save me at the cross.
Thou hast said Thy grace is free,
Grace is free, grace is free;
Have com­pas­sion, Lord, on me,
Oh, save me at the cross.

Refrain

Wash me in Thy cleans­ing blood,
Cleansing blood, cleans­ing blood;
Plunge me now be­neath the flood,
Oh, save me at the cross.
Only faith will par­don bring,
Pardon bring, par­don bring,
In that faith to Thee I cling,
Oh, save me at the cross.
