Is there a friend in earth or heaven,
Who can a mortal save;
Can make a leprous sinner clean,
Redeem a helpless slave?
Say, is there one who can appease
A sin-avenging God;
Can save a soul o’erwhelmed with guilt,
By wrath and terror awed!
Yes, there is one who dwells on high,
Who this can do and more;
Can save from sin and sin’s desert,
By his unbounded power.
Jesus Immanuel is his name,
Who suffered on the tree,
And bore the weight of all my sins,
And bled and died for me.
Lo, now he lives, he ever lives,
And pleads what he has done;
While God ten thousand crimes,
Through his atoning Son.
Now to thy cross, my Lord, I come,
And there would prostate lie;
Be thou propitious to my prayer,
Nor let a sinner die.
