Tune:  Speak, Lord, in the stillness… (by E. May Grimes)

I with awe do thank Thee

For forgiving me,

In Thy blood I´m sheltered,

Lo, this is my plea!

In that grace I´m thriving,

That´s in Christ revealed,

Here my past in darkness

For its sins was healed!

Faithful are His dealings

With me undeserved,

Even all my failures

Have me not unnerved!

For my robes I´m washing

In Thy crimson flood  (Rev. 22:14)

While my foes are throwing

On me dirty mud!

So despite my frailties

Overflows my cup,

I´m still “green” and learning

Never to give up!

To that end He´s granting

In my age new grace,

As my hair grows whiter

On me shines His face!
