Hymn/Song Information

Listen O sinner to a voice Which well




Listen, O sinner, to a voice,
Which well may make thy heart rejoice;
Laden with sorrow, bring the load
Unto thy Saviour and thy God.


Come unto Christ, be not afraid;
He died for thee, and he hath said,
To all by guilt and sin oppressed,
“Come unto me, I’ll give you rest.”


Whate’er thy weakness, guilt, and sin,
Troubles without and fears within,
No more in helpless misery roam,
But at his gracious bidding come.


Come as thou art, without one plea
But that his blood was shed for thee;
Only his promise now believe,
And thou thy pardon shalt receive.


Just as thou art, Oh, wait thou not
To cure one fault, to cleanse one spot,
Or for one folly to atone,
But trust his power and love alone.


He who was punished in thy place
Has won for thee both life and grace;
No more in unbelief delay,
But for thy pardon come to-day.


Come, sinner, come, renounce thy sin,
And a new life to-day begin;
For all who trust—at once forgiven,
Are sons of God and heirs of heaven.


Away with sorrow, fear, and doubt,
For he will never cast thee out;
Come sinner, come, his yoke to bear,
And he will make thy wants his care.


Come, sinner, Jesus will receive,
Will pardon, cleanse, renew, relieve;
Trust to his power, his love divine,
And wisdom, pardon, grace are thine.


A love whose greatness is unknown,
A love by such forgiveness shown,
Which could such boundless blessings give,
Such sufferings bear that we might live,


This love, surpassing knowledge, is
The price by which he made us his:
Come sinner, come, with love and praise
Serve him through thy remaining days.
