**“My Sins, My Sins, My Savior”**
 By John Monsell, 1863

My sins, my sins, my Savior!
 They take such hold on me, I am not able to look up,
Save only, Christ, on Thee; In Thee is all forgiveness, In Thee abundant grace, 
My shadow and my sunshine The brightness of Thy face.

My sins, my sins, my Savior!
 How sad on Thee they fall; Seen through Thy gentle
patience, I tenfold feel them all; I know they are forgiven, But still, their pain
to me Is all the grief and anguish They laid, my Lord, on Thee.

My sins, my sins, my Savior!
 Their guilt I never knew Till with Thee in the desert
I near Thy passion drew; Till with Thee in the garden I heard Thy pleading prayer,
And saw the sweat-drops bloody That told Thy sorrow there.

Therefore my songs, my Savior,
 E’en in this time of woe, Shall tell of all Thy 
goodness To suff’ring man below; Thy goodness and Thy favor, Whose presence from
above Rejoice those hearts, my Savior, That live in Thee and love.
