Author: Emma Frances Bevan, 1827 - 1909; Erdmann Neumeister, 1671 - 1756 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #377 (1958) 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;
Openeth to me heaven again;
With him I may enter in.
Death hath no more sting nor pain,
Christ receiveth sinful men.
