Jesus Sinners Doth Receive

1.Jesus sinners doth receive;
Well may we this saying ponder
Who in sin's delusions live,
And from God and Heaven wander:
Here is hope for all who grieve—
Jesus sinners doth receive.

2.We deserve but grief and shame,—
Yet His words, rich grace revealing,
Pardon, peace, and life proclaim;
Here their ills have perfect healing
Who with humble hearts believe—
Jesus sinners doth receive.

3.As the shepherd seeks to find
His lost sheep that from Him strayeth,
So hath Christ each soul in mind,
And for its salvation prayeth;
Fain He'd have each wand'rer live:
Jesus sinners doth receive.

4.Come, then, all by guilt oppressed,
Jesus calls, and He would make you
God's own children, pure and blest,
And to glory He would take you;
Think on this, and well believe
Jesus sinners doth receive.

5.Savior, now I come to Thee:
Great my sins, a weary burden!
Wilt Thou mercy show to me?
Can I hope to find a pardon?
I will trust: my soul relieve!
Me, a sinner, Lord, receive!
