1. Now the Savior stands a pleading | |||
At the sinner's bolted heart; | |||
Now in heaven is interceding, | |||
Undertaking sinners' part. | |||
:CHORUS | |||
{{ | :Sinners can you hate the Savior, | ||
:Can you thrust him from your arms? | |||
:Here he died for your behavior, | |||
}} | :Now he calls you to his charms. | ||
2. Now he pleads his sweat and bloodshed. | |||
Shows his wounded hands and feet; | |||
Father save them though they're blood-red, | |||
Raise them to an heavenly seat. | |||
3. Sinners, hear your God and Savior, | |||
Hear his gracious voice today; | |||
Turn from all your base behavior. | |||
Now return, repent, and pray. | |||
4. Open now your hearts before him, | |||
Bid your Savior welcome in; | |||
Now receive, and love, adore him, | |||
Take a full discharge from sin. | |||
5. Now he's waiting to be gracious, | |||
Now he stands and looks on thee | |||
See what kindness, love and pity, | |||
Shines around, on you and me. | |||
6. Come! for all things now are ready, | |||
Yet there's room for many more; | |||
O ye blind, ye lame and needy, | |||
Come to grace's boundless store.}} | |||
