Author: Emma Frances Bevan (1827-1909); Erdmann Neumeister (1671-1756) Hymnal: The Hymnal #227 (1950) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 First Line: Sinners Jesus will receive Lyrics: 1 Sinners Jesus will receive;
Tell this word of grace to all
Who the heavenly pathway leave,
All who linger, all who fall;
This can bring them back again:
Christ receiveth sinful men.
2 Shepherds seek their wandering sheep
O'er the mountains bleak and cold;
Jesus such a watch doth keep
O'er the lost ones of His fold,
Seeking them o'er moor and fen:
Christ receiveth sinful men.
3 Sick and sorrowful and blind,
I with all my sins draw nigh;
O my Saviour, Thou canst find
Help for sinners such as I;
Speak that word of love again:
Christ receiveth sinful men.
4 Christ receiveth sinful men,
Even me with all my sin;
Op'neth to me heaven again;
With Him I may enter in.
Death hath no more sting nor pain:
Christ receiveth sinful men.
