Jesus Pleading for Sinners

Representative Text

1 Now the Saviour standeth pleading
At the sinner's bolted heart;
Now in heaven he's interceding,
Taking there the sinner's part.

2 Sinners, hear your God and Saviour,
Hear his gracious voice to-day;
Turn from all your vain behavior,
Oh, repent, return, and pray!

3 Now he's waiting to be gracious,
Now he stands and looks on thee:
See what kindness, love, and pity,
Shine around on you and me.

4 Come, for all things now are ready,
Yet there's room for many more:
O ye blind, ye lame and needy,
Come to wisdom's boundless store!
