Author: Daniel S. Warner Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:9 First Line: Ah, poor sinner, think of Calv'ry Refrain First Line: Sinner, oh behold His passion Lyrics: 1 Ah, poor sinner, think of Calv’ry,
Of the One who suffered there;
Do you know He died in mercy,
All your load of guilt to bear?
Refrain:
Sinner, oh behold His passion,
It will melt thy heart of stone;
Come, receive His great salvation,
Meekly bow, thy Savior own.
2 Jesus—oh, that name so precious!—
“Tasted death for every man,”
And His blood will purge thy conscience
From the deepest crimson stain. [Refrain]
3 Not compelled, but love so willing,
Took our sins and died instead;
From His tomb a life is springing
That will raise thee from the dead. [Refrain]
4 There He bled and died, an off’ring
For the world of sinners lost;
Oh, what pangs His visage marring!
Sinner, this thy soul has cost. [Refrain]
5 Oh, the wonder and amazement,
That a creature, human formed,
Can behold the Lamb’s atonement,
And not bow, by love disarmed.
