1 Is there a friend in earth or Heav’n,
Who can a mortal save?
Can make a leprous sinner clean,
Redeem a helpless slave?
2 Say, is there one who can appease
A sin-avenging God?
Can save a soul o’erwhelmed with guilt,
By wrath and terror awed?
3 Yes, there is One who dwells on high,
Who this can do and more;
Can save from sin and sin’s desert,
By His unbounded power.
4 Jesus Immanuel is His name,
Who suffered on the tree,
And bore the weight of all my sins,
And bled and died for me.
5 Lo, now He lives, He ever lives,
And pleads what He has done;
While God ten thousand crimes forgives,
Through His atoning Son.
6 Now to Thy cross, my Lord, I come,
And there would prostrate lie;
Be Thou propitious to my prayer,
Nor let a sinner die.
