Text: | Sinners May To Christ Draw Near |
Author: | J. H. Schrader |
Tune: | [Sinners may to Christ draw near] |
Composer: | John Cruger |
1 Sinners may to Christ draw near;
Let this word of consolation
Be proclaimed to every soul
In its need of true salvation;
Grace and peace are offered here;
Sinners may to Christ draw near.
2 Naught but wrath have I deserved,
Yet the pledge to me is given
In His sure, prophetic word
That my home shall be in heaven,
Why should I still doubt and fear?
Sinners may to Christ draw near.
3 When a sheep hath gone astray,
After it the shepherd goeth;
Jesus, loving all His own,
On the lost His love bestoweth,
Lest they stay devoid of cheer:
Sinners may to Christ draw near.
4 Come, ye sinners, one and all,
Bowed with grief, and sorely stricken;
Jesus gives you sure relief,
He your fainting hearts can quicken,
Though the way seem dark and drear!
Sinners may to Christ draw near.
5 Sinners may to Christ draw near;
Nor am I bye Him rejected.
He hath opened heaven's gate
And a place for me selected:
For I trust the message clear:
Sinners may to Christ draw near.
