Representative Text

1 Take ev’ry sin to Jesus,
Who died on Calv’ry’s tree,
For He will freely pardon,
And give you liberty.

Refrain:
Take ev’ry sin to Jesus,
Before His altar bow;
Take ev’ry sin to Jesus,
And He will save you now.

2 Take ev’ry sin to Jesus—
The blackest stain of all,

The deepest, darkest fall. [Refrain]

3 His grace is all sufficient

His love will be your portion
Throughout eternity. [Refrain]

4 Then yield your heart to Jesus,
The One who loves you so;
And let Him be your Saviour
Wherever you may go. [Refrain]
