Words: William McDonald, 1870,
Public Domain:
“The hymn was written in 1870 in the city of Brooklyn, New York, while I was pastor in that city. I had felt the need of a hymn to aid seekers of heart purity while at the altar. I had desired something, simple in expression, true to experience and ending in the fulless of love. The tune composed by Mr. Fischer, with the first two lines of the chorus, I had seen, and was much pleased with their simplicityy. And as I was sitting in my study one day, the line of thought came rushing into my mind, and I began to write, and in a few minutes the hymn was on paper.”
William McDonald, 1870
It was first sung at aNational Campmeeting, June 22, 1870. The words were first published in The American Baptst Praise Book, 1871.
Music: William G. Fischer, 1870
1. I am coming to the cross;
I am poor, and weak, and blind;
I am counting all but dross;
I shall full salvation find.
◦ I am trusting, Lord, in Thee,
Blessed Lamb of Calvary;
Humbly at Thy cross I bow,
Save me, Jesus, save me now.
2. Long my heart has sighed for Thee;
Long has evil dwelt within;
Jesus sweetly speaks to me,
“I will cleanse you from all sin.
3. Here I give my all to Thee—
Friends and time and earthly store,
Soul and body Thine to be—
Wholly Thine forevermore.
1. In the promises I trust;
Now I feel the blood applied;
I am prostrate in the dust;
I with Christ am crucified.

既軟弱而又貧、瞎；
世上事盡都空虛，
惟主恩是我所需。
◦ 我今來投靠救主，
十架下謙卑俯伏，
求耶穌，神的羔羊，
拯救我脫離滅亡。
2. 我久慕救主恩典，
罪卻在我心掌權；
今聞主柔聲說道：
『你罪孽，我必除掉。』
3. 主已來充滿我心，
並將我一切更新；
祂寶血洗我罪愆，
祂救贖使我完全。
◦ 感謝主，我已蒙恩，
罪得赦，喜樂滿心；
讚美主，我已得救，
眼明亮，願跟主走。
4. 我在此獻上所有：
靈、魂、體、親人、摯友，
智與力、財物、時間，
全歸主直到永遠。
