Jesus sinners doth receive, When they fall contrite before Him

Representative Text

1 Jesus sinners will receive,
When they fall contrite before Him,
When His teachings they believe,
And with new life will adore Him:
Blessed He who can believe
Jesus sinners doth receive!

2 Jesus sinners will receive!
Hence will I not grown faint-hearted,
Though my sins me sorely grieve,
And all peace from me have parted;
Still this trust will e'er relieve:
Jesus sinners doth receive.

3 Jesus sinners will receive!
What, though Satan's rage assail me?
I of Him ask no reprieve,
This assurance will avail me;
I am safe while I believe:
Jesus sinners doth receive.

4 Jesus sinners will receive!
On His pastures, so delightful,
Every lamb may feed and live,
Though the Pharisees grow spiteful;
Even they this witness give:
Jesus sinner doth receive!

5 Jesus sinners will receive!
Thie sweet comfort shall then cheer me;
Thereto shall my faith e'er cleave,
Nevermore then need I fear me;
O how blest, I will not grieve!
Jesus sinners doth receive!
