48b. Just as thou art--without one trace

1 Just as thou art--without one trace
Of love, or joy, or inward grace,
Or meetness for the heav'nly place,
O guilty sinner, come, O come.

2 Burden'd with guilt, would'st thou be blest?
Trust not the world, it gives no rest,
I bring relief to hearts opprest,
O weary sinner come, O come.

3 Come, leave thy burden at the cross;
Count all thy gains but empty dross:
My grace repays all earthly loss--
O needy sinner, come, O come

4 Come, hither bring thy boding fears,
Thy aching heart, thy bursting tears:
'Tis mercy's voice salutes thine ears;
O trembling sinner, come, O come.

5 "The Spirit and the birds say, Come;"
Rejoicing saints re-echo, Come:
Who faints, who thirsts, who will may come:
Thy Saviour bids thee come, O come.
