Christ, Or Else I Die
Posted by nathan on 15 Sep 2007 | Tagged as: thoughts on god.
I was just telling Adam earlier this week that I’m not really much on blogging lyrics, but here are some lyrics out of the Gadsby Hymnal that I just love. It really has hit home for me over the past several months, so I thought I would share a portion of the lyrics here. (Thanks Guy for turning me on to this song and other Gadsby songs. I love it!)
Christ, Or Else I Die
(Gadsby Hymnal, #737)
William Hammond, 1719-1783
Wealth and honor I disdain,
Earthly comforts, Lord are vain;
These can never satisfy:
Give me Christ, or else I die.
All unholy and unclean,
I am nothing else but sin;
On they mercy I rely;
Give me Christ or else I die.
Thou dost promise to forgive
all who in thy Son believe;
Lord, I know thou canst not lie;
Give me Christ, or else I die.
All unholy and unclean,
I am nothing else but sin;
On thy mercy I rely;
Give me Christ or else I die.
