Heinous as all your crimes have been,
Lo! I descend from mine abode,
To reason with the sons of men.
2 No clouds of darkness veil my face,
No vengeful lightnings flash around:
I come with terms of life and peace;
Where sin hath reign'd let grace abound.
3 Yes, Lord, we will obey thy call,
And to thy gracious sceptre bow;
O make our crimson sins like wool,
Our scarlet crimes as white as snow.
4 So shall our thankful lips repeat
Thy praises with a tuneful voice,
While humbly prostrate at thy feet,
We wonder, tremble, and rejoice. Topics: Scripture Invitations and Promises; Encouragement and invitation; God Reasoning with men Scripture: Isaiah 1:18 Languages: English
