He Will Pardon Thee

1 O thou weary captive, Fettered by thy guilt,
For thy soul's deliv'rance, Jesus' blood was spilt;
Open in thy prison, if thou only wilt
Take the offer'd pardon now.

Refrain:
Take the pardon now, Take the pardon now,
He hath paid thy ransom with his precious blood.
Whitened all thy garments in the cleansing flood,
Captive, take thy pardon now.

2 At the bar of justice he hath plead for thee,
For thy dark transgression borne the penalty;
Now the offer'd mercy, measureless and free,
Take the offer'd pardon now.

Refrain:
Take the pardon now, Take the pardon now,
Leave thy dungeon's darkness, for the light of day;
Trust His tender guidance, He will lead the way,
Take the offer'd pardon now.
