Lyrics

Verse 1 To avert from men God's wrath Jesus suffered in our stead; By an ignominious death He a full atonement made; And by His most precious blood, brought us, sinners, nigh to God. Verse 2 That we never should forget this great Love on us bestowed, He gave us His flesh to eat, and to drink His precious blood; All who sick and needy are may receive in Him a share. Verse 3 Hither each afflicted soul may repair, though filled with grief; To the sick, not to the whole, the Physician brings relief; Fear not, therefore, but draw nigh, Christ will all your wants supply. Verse 4 He who in self righteousness fixes any hope or stay, Has not on a wedding dress, and with shame is sent away; To the hungry, weary heart, He will food and rest impart. Verse 5 But examine first your case, whether you be in the faith; Do you long for pard'ning grace? Is your only hope His death? Then, howe'er your soul's oppressed, come, you are a worthy guest. Verse 6 He who Jesus' mercy knows, is from wrath and envy freed; Love unto our neighbor shows that we are His flock indeed; Thus we may in all our ways show forth our Redeemer's praise....
