Author: Samuel John Stone, 1839 - 1900 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #366 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Weary of earth, and laden with my sin,
I look at heaven and long to enter in;
But there no evil thing may find a home,
And yet I hear a voice that bids me 'Come.'
2 The while I fain would tread the heavenly way
Evil is ever with me day by day;
Yet on mine ears the gracious tidings fall,
'Repent, confess, thou shalt be loosed from all.'
3 O great Absolver, grant my soul may wear
The lowliest garb of penitence and prayer,
That in the Father's courts my glorious dress
May be the garment of thy righteousness.
4 Yea, thou wilt answer for me, righteous Lord;
Thine all the merits, mine the great reward;
Thine the sharp thorns, and mine the golden crown;
Mine the life won, through thine the life laid down. Topics: The Life in Christ Repentance and Faith Languages: English Tune Title: LANGRAN
