120. Wailing

1. God is light! God is love!
He hears the broken hearted sigh:
From the heav'ns, high above,
"Come to me," His heart doth cry.

Refrain:
"Lord, help! Lord, help!
We must come, or we shall die."
"Lord, help! Lord, help!
We must come or we shall die."

2. Christ is given! Christ is come!
He stoops to earth from yonder throne;
Cries the cross of His doom
"Come to me, for I atone."

Refrain:
"Jesus, help! Jesus, help!
Wash and make me thus Thine own."
"Jesus, help! Jesus, help!
Wash and make me thus thine own.

3. Crimson blood! on the tree,
'Tis pour'd out for my crimson sins;
To redeem even me,
Life by death my Saviour wins.

Refrain:
"I believe! I believe!
Life eternal now begins."
"I believe! I believe!
Life eternal now begsns."
