Ye sin-sick souls draw near,
And banquet with your King,
His royal bounty share,
And loud hosannas sing:
Here mercy reigns, here peace abounds,
Here’s blood to heal your dreadful wounds.
Here’s clothing for the poor;
Here’s comfort for the weak :
Here’s strength for tempted souls,
And cordials for the sick—
Here’s all a soul can want or need,
Laid up in Christ, the living head.
But may a soul like mine,
All stained with guilt and blood,
Approach the throne of grace,
And converse hold with God?
Yes! Jesus calls;—come, sinners, come,
In mercy’s arms there yet is room.
He’s on a throne of grace,
And waits to answer pray’r:
What tho’ thy sin and guilt
Like crimson doth appear,
The blood of Christ divinely flows,
A healing balm for all thy woes.
O wond’rous love and grace—
Did Jesus die for me?
Were all my num’rous debts
Discharg’d on Calvary?
Yes, Jesus dy’d—the work is done—
He did for all my Sins alone.
On earth I’ll sing his love—
In heaven I too shall join
The ransom’d of the Lord,
In accents all divine;
And see my Saviour, face to face,
And ever dwell in his embrace.
