1 Thy faithfulness, Lord, each moment we find,
So true to thy word, so loving and kind!
Thy mercy so tender to all the lost race;
The foulest offender may turn and find grace.

2 The mercy I feel, to others I shew:
I set to my seal that Jesus is true:
Ye all may find favour, who come at his call;
O come to my Saviour: his grace is for all.

3 To save what was lost from heaven he came:
Come sinners and trust in Jesus’s name!
He offers you pardon, he bids you be free!
If sin be your burden, O come unto me!

4 O let me commend my Saviour to you:
The publican’s friend and advocate too:
For you he is pleading his merits and death,
With God interceding for sinners beneath.

5 Then let us submit his grace to receive;
Fall down at his feet, and gladly believe;
We all are forgiven for Jesus’s sake:
Our title to heaven his merit we take.
