Jesus, the sinner's Friend,
|
|
| 1. | Jesus, the sinner's Friend, |
| | We hide ourselves in Thee; |
| | God looks upon Thy sprinkled blood, |
| | It is our only plea. |
| 2. | He hears Thy precious Name, |
| | We claim it as our own; |
| | The Father must accept and bless |
| | His well-beloved Son. |
| 3. | Thou hast fulfilled the law, |
| | And we are justified: |
| | Ours is the blessing, Thine the curse; |
| | We live, for Thou hast died. |
| 4. | Jesus, the sinner's Friend! |
| | We cannot speak Thy praise; |
| | No mortal voice can sing the song |
| | That ransomed hearts would raise. |
| 5. | But when before the throne, |
| | Thy face we all shall see, |
| | Clothed in our blood-bought robes of white, |
| | We'll stand complete in Thee. |
| 6. | Jesus, we'll give Thee then |
| | Such praises as are meet, |
| | And give ten thousand thanks to Thee, |
| | Adoring, at Thy feet. |
