Weary of earth, and laden with my sin

Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 219 hymnals Topics: Confession of Sin Lyrics: 1 Weary of earth, and laden with my sin, I look at heav'n and long to enter in; But there no evil thing may find a home; And yet I hear a voice that bids me "Come." 2 So vile I am, how dare I hope to stand In the pure glory of that holy land? Before the whiteness of that throne appear? Yet there are hands stretched out to draw me near. 3 The while I fain would tread the heav'nly way, Evil is ever with me day by day; Yet on mine ears the gracious tidings fall, "Repent, confess, thou shalt be loosed from all." 4 It is the voice of Jesus that I hear; His are the hands stretched out to draw me near, And his the blood that can for all atone And set me faultless there before the throne. 5 O great Absolver, grant my soul may wear The lowliest garb of penitence and prayer, That in the Father's courts my glorious dress May be the garment of thy righteousness. 6 Yea, thou wilt answer for me, righteous Lord; Thine all the merits, mine the great reward; Thine the sharp thorns, and mine the golden crown; Mine the life won, and thine the life laid down. Amen. Scripture: Matthew 11:28 Used With Tune: LANGRAN
