1 I’m poor, and blind, and wretched,
I’m full of doubts and fears;
My heart is weak and wicked,
My cheeks are wet with tears;
My soul is full of sadness,
Of sin, and pain, and grief;
Oh for a ray of gladness,
Of pardon and relief!

Refrain:
Oh, come at once to Jesus,
Whate’er your burden be,
And though your sins are many,
His blood can make you free.

2 And will the blessèd Savior
This guilty soul make pure?
May I be His forever?
May I His love secure? [Refrain]
