The Voice of Praise ‎#743

743. Children, hear the melting story

1 Children, hear the melting story
Of the Lamb that once was slain;
'Tis the Lord of life and glory:
Shall he plead with you in vain?
Oh, receive him,
And salvation now obtain.

2 Yield no more to sin and folly,
So displeasing in his sight;
Jesus loves the pure and holy;
They alone are his delight:
Seek his favor,
And your hearts to him unite.

3 All your sins to him confessing,
Who is ready to forgive;
Seek the Saviour's richest blessing,
On his precious name believe:
He is waiting,
Will you not his grace receive?
