1 There was never a cry of a sin-sick soul
But the Master at once gave heed;
And He made the lame and the leper whole,
For He gladly answers all who plead.

Refrain:
He never turns a soul away,
He never turns a soul away;
Jesus answers every cry,
Never one need die;
He never turns a soul away.

2 There was never raised a repenting plea,
That the Lord ever would delay;
And there will not be, for there cannot be,
A returning sinner left to die. [Refrain]

3 Every seeker shall find, and to those who knock
Shall the door be opened wide;
Let the sheep return to the Master’s flock,
In the sheep fold ever to abide. [Refrain]
