261. Deep are the wounds that sin has made

1 Deep are the wounds that sin has made:
Where shall the sinner find a cure?
In vain, alas! is nature's aid--
The work exceeds all nature's power.

2 And can no sovereign balm be found?
And is no kind physician nigh
To ease the pain and heal the wound,
Ere life and hope for ever fly?

3 There is a great Physician near,
Look up, oh fainting soul! and live:
See, in His heavenly smiles appear
Such ease as nature cannot give.

4 See, in the Savior's dying blood
Life, health, and bliss abundant flow!
'Tis only this dear, sacred flood
Can ease thy pain, and heal thy woe.
