Lyrics

Verse 1 Jesus sinners doth receive; well may we this saying ponder Who in sin's delusions live, and from God and Heaven wander: Here is hope for all who grieve, Jesus sinners doth receive. Verse 2 We deserve but grief and shame, yet His words, rich grace revealing, Pardon, peace, and life proclaim; here their ills have perfect healing Who with humble hearts believe, Jesus sinners doth receive. Verse 3 As the shepherd seeks to find His lost sheep that from Him strayeth, So hath Christ each soul in mind, and for its salvation prayeth; Fain He'd have each wand'rer live: Jesus sinners doth receive. Verse 4 Come, then, all by guilt oppressed, Jesus calls, and He would make you God's own children, pure and blest, and to glory He would take you; Think on this, and well believe Jesus sinners doth receive. Verse 5 Savior, now I come to Thee: great my sins, a weary burden! Wilt Thou mercy show to me? Can I hope to find a pardon? I will trust: my soul relieve! me, a sinner, Lord, receive! Verse 6 Rich Thy mercy, strangely good! O how oft have I offended! But through Thy redeeming blood all my fear of wrath is ended: Yes I now can witness give: Jesus sinners doth receive! Verse 7 Now my conscience is at peace; from the law I stand acquitted; Christ hath purchased my release, and my every sin remitted. Naught remains my soul to grieve: Jesus sinners doth receive. Verse 8 Jesus sinners doth receive! happy in His ceaseless favor, Here for Heaven I will live, there shall live with Him forever, "Joy in death these tidings give; Jesus sinners doth receive!"...
