Once, as the Saviour passed along,
Zaccheus fain the Lord would see;
Of stature small, to 'scape the throng,
He ran before and climbed a tree.
As the omniscient Lord drew nigh,
Upwards he looked, and saw him there
“Zaccheus, hasten down, for I
Must be thy guest to day; prepare.”
“To-day,” the pard'ning Saviour cries,
“Salvation to thy house is come,
On wings of sov'reign love it flies—
Go, tell the blissful news at home.”
Lord, look on souls that gaze around,
To every list'ning sinner speak;
Now may thy ancient love abound;
From every seat a captive take.
Sinners, make haste our God to meet,
Come to the feast his love prepares;
'The lost are sought and saved”'—how sweet!
And “not the righteous,” Christ declares.
Say, what are you come out to view,—
Jesus, who once for sinners died?
O hear the Saviour's voice to you,
“Cast sinful, righteous, self aside.”
Lord, wilt thou stoop to be my guest?
Dost thou invite thee to my home?
Welcome, dear Saviour, to my breast,
To-day let thy salvation come.
