Thy faithfulness, Lord,
each moment we find,
So true to thy word, so loving and kind;
Thy mercy so tender to all the lost race,
The vilest offender
may turn and find grace.
O let me commend my Saviour to you,
I set to my seal that Jesus is true;
You all may find favour
who come at his call;
O come to my Saviour!
His grace is for all.
To save what was lost,
from heaven he came;
Come, sinners,
and trust in Jesus’s name;
He offers you pardon,
he bids you be free:
‘If sin be your burden,
O come unto me!’
O let me commend my Savior to you,
The publican’s Friend
and Advocate too,
For you He is pleading
His merits and death,
With God interceding
for sinners beneath.
Then let us submit
his grace to receive,
Fall down at his feet
and gladly believe;
We all are forgiven for Jesus’s sake;
Our title to heaven his merits we take.
---Alternative verses---
The mercy I feel, to others I show,
I set to my seal that Jesus is true:
Ye all may find favor,
who come at His call,
O come to my Savior,
His grace is for all!
