Select language to translate this lyric
Great God from You there's nought concealed,
You seest my inward frame
To You I always stand revealed,
Exactly as I am
Since I can hardly bear,
What in myself I often see
How vile and dark must I appear
Most holy God to Thee?
But since my Saviour stands between
In garments dyed in blood
'Tis He instead of me is seen
When I approach my God
When I approach my God
Thus though a sinner, I am safe,
He pleads before the throne
His life and death on my behalf,
And calls my sins His own
What wondrous love, what mysteries
In this appointed shrine
My breaches of the law are His,
And His obedience mine
And His obedience mine
But since my Saviour stands between
In garments dyed in blood
'Tis He instead of me is seen
When I approach my God
When I approach my God
