116. Jesus Pleading for Sinners

1 Now the Saviour stands a pleading
At the sinner's bolted heart;
Now in heaven is interceding,
Undertaking sinner's part.

Chorus:
Sinners can you hate that Saviour,
Can you thrust him form your arms?
Here he dy'd for your behaviour,
Now he calls you to his charms.

2 Now he pleads his sweat and bloodshed,
Shews his wounded hands and feet--
"Father save them tho' they're blood-red,
Raise them to an heavenly seat." [Chorus]

3 Sinners, hear your God and Saviour,
Hear his gracious voice to-day;
Turn from all your base behaviour,
Now return, repent, and pray. [Chorus]

4 Open now your hearts before him,
Bid your Saviour welcome in:
Now receive, and love, adore him,
Take a full discharge from sin. [Chorus]

5 Now he's waiting to be gracious,
Now he stands and looks on thee:
See what kindness, love and pity,
Shines around, on you and me. [Chorus]

6 Come! for all things now are ready--
Yet there's room for many more:
O ye blind, ye lame and needy,
Come to grace's boundless store. [Chorus]
