Convinced as a sinner, to Jesus I come,
by S. Turner or Bennett·1814·Meter 11s
Based on Ps 61:2
1
Convinced as a sinner, to Jesus I come,
Informed by the gospel for such there is room;
O'erwhelmèd with sorrow for sin, will I cry;
"Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I."
2
O blessèd be Jesus, for answering prayer,
And raising my soul from the pit of despair;
In every new trial, to him will I cry,
"Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I."
3
When sorely afflicted, and ready to faint,
Before my Redeemer I'll spread my complaint;
'Midst storms and distresses, my soul shall rely
On Jesus, the Rock that is higher than I.
