Hymns in Lent - Day 24

"In the day of salvation have I succoured thee - 

behold, now is the day of salvation." 

- 2 Corinthians 6:2

When my relief will most display

Thy glory in thy creature's good,

Then, Jesus, take the veil away,

Sprinkle me with the atoning blood;

The power of living faith impart,

And breathe thy love into my heart.

Jesus, the promis'd help supply;

Support the feeble, fainting mind;

Nor let me from thy presence fly,

But seek till I acceptance find;

But ask till I am sav'd from sin,

And knock till mercy takes me in.
