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....
