Kom, o syndare, du arme

Representative Text

1 Kom, o syndare, du arme,
Full of krankhet, så och nöd;
Jesus redo är att frälsa
Dig ifrån en evig död.
Han år måktig, han år nådig;
Tvifla ej, då själf han bjöd!

2 Kom, du fattige, välkommen,
Gläds, att sådan nåd dig bjuds!
"Utan penningar, för intet"
Lifvets bröd dig står till buds.
Hvarje nåd vill Jesus gifva,
Han, som är ditt lif, din Gud.

3 Låt ej lagens dom dig hindra
Eller din ovärdighet!
All den värdighet han fordrar
Är, att du din ringhet vet
Och att honom du behöfver:
Han, som är ditt lif, din Gud.

4 Kom, betungade och trötte,
Du, som fallets prägel bär!
Dröjer du, tills du "blir bättre,"
Då du aldrig komma lär.
Syndare vill Jesus frälsa:
Kom, så full af synd du är!

5 Kämpande i örtagården
se din Frälsare, och hör
Från det blodbestänkta korset
Honom ropa, förr'n han dör:
"Det fuldkomnadt är!" ditt hjärta,
Syndare, ej tvifla bör!

6 Hör, din Gud, som mänska blifvit,
Prisar kraften af sitt blod;
Lita då därpå fullkomlight,
Tag ej annan tröst för god:
Ingen utan Jesus Kristus
Kan ge tröstlöst hjärta mod!

Hart, Joseph, was born in London in 1712. His early life is involved in obscurity. His education was fairly good; and from the testimony of his brother-in-law, and successor in the ministry in Jewin Street, the Rev. John Hughes, "his civil calling was" for some time "that of a teacher of the learned languages." His early life, according to his own Experience which he prefaced to his Hymns, was a curious mixture of loose conduct, serious conviction of sin, and endeavours after amendment of life, and not until Whitsuntide, 1757, did he realize a permanent change, which was brought about mainly through his attending divine service at the Moravian Chapel, in Fetter Lane, London, and hearing a sermon on Rev. iii. 10.
