Mark 10:49, 50: Stopp'd by a sinner's prayer

Stopp'd by a sinner's prayer.
Thou canst no farther move,
Thou canst no more forbear
To manifest Thy love.
Thou waitest now to show Thy grace,
And callest me to seek Thy f:ice.

I now Thy call obey,
Put off my sordid'dress,
And cast the rags away
Of my own righteousness;
Naked, and indigent, and blind,
I run the pardoning God to find.

By Thy own mercy brought
Before Thy face I stand,
Yet still I see Thee not
Till Thou put forth Thy hand,
And by Thy word create the light,
And by Thy touch restore my sight

In pity to my cries,
And heartfelt poverty,
Open the beggar's eyes,
That I my way may see.
My pure and living way pursue,
Till Thee I in Thy glory view.
