Text: | Jesus Sinners Doth Receive |
Author: | Erdmann Neumeister |
Tune: | MEINHOLD |
Composer: | Johann Sebastian Bach, (1685-1750) |
1 "Jesus sinners doth receive":
Word of surest consolation;
Word all sorrow to relieve,
Word of pardon, peace, salvation!
Naught like this can comfort give:
"Jesus sinners doth receive."
2 On God's grace we have no claim,
Yet to us His pledge is given;
He hath sworn by His own Name,
Open are the gates of heaven.
Take to heart this word and live:
"Jesus sinners doth receive."
3 When a helpless lamb doth stray,
After it, the Shepherd, pressing
Through each dark and dangerous way,
Brings it back, His own possessing.
Jesus, seeks Thee, O believe:
"Jesus sinners doth receive."
4 Sorrowing, Lord, I yield to Thee,
Weary of sin's heavy burden;
Let Thy grace my portion be,
All I crave for is Thy pardon,
This, Thy promise, I believe:
"Jesus sinners doth receive."
Amen.
