Hymn 246
Jesus the sinner's Friend, to Thee
Meter: L.M.
Scripture: Matthew 11:28
1
Jesus the sinner's Friend, to Thee,
Lost and undone, for aid I flee,
Weary of earth, myself, and sin;
Open Thine arms, and take me in!
2
Pity, and heal my sin-sick soul;
'Tis Thou alone canst make me whole;
Fallen, till in me Thine image shine,
And cursed I am, till Thou art mine.
3
The mansion for Thyself prepare,
Dispose my heart by ent’ring there;
'Tis this alone can make me clean,
'Tis this alone can cast out sin.
4
At last I own it cannot be
That I should fit myself for Thee:
Here then to Thee I all resign;
Thine is the work and only Thine.
5
What shall I say Thy grace to move?
pLord, I am sin, but Thou art love:
I give up every plea beside-
Lord, I am lost, but Thou hast died!
