Just as thou art, without one trace
Of love, or joy, or inward grace,
Or meetness for the heavenly place,
O guilty sinner, come!
Thy sins I bore on Calvary’s tree;
The stripes, thy due, were laid on Me;
That peace, and pardon might be free;
O wretched sinner, come.
Burdened with guilt,
wouldst thou be blest?
Trust not the world, it gives no rest;
Christ brings relief to hearts opprest:
O weary sinner, come!
Come, leave thy burden
at the cross,
Count all thy gains but empty dross;
His grace repays all earthly loss:
O needy sinner, come!
Come, hither bring
thy boding fears,
Thy aching heart, thy burning tears;
‘Tis Mercy’s voice salutes thine ears:
O trembling sinner, come!
“The Spirit
and the bride say, Come!”
Rejoicing saints re-echo, “Come!”
Who faints, who thirsts,
who will, may come
The Saviour bids thee come!
