Lyrics:


Now the Savior stands a-pleading,
At the sinner's bolted heart;
Now in heaven he's interceding,
Undertaking sinner's part.
Refrain:
Sinners, can you hate this Savior?
Will you thrust him from your arms?
Once he died for your behavior,
Now he calls you to his arms.

Now he pleads his sweat and blood-shed,
Shows his wounded hands and feet;
Father, save them, though they're blood red,
Raise them to a heavenly seat.
Refrain

Sinners, hear your God and Savior,
Hear his gracious voice today;
Turn from all your vain behavior,
O repent, return and pray.
Refrain

O be wise before you languish
On the bed of dying strife;
Endless joy, or dreadful anguish,
Turn upon the events of life.
Refrain

Now he's waiting to be gracious,
Now he stands and looks on thee;
See, what kindness, love and pity,
Shine around on you and me.
Refrain

Open now your hearts before him,
Bid the Savior welcome in;
Now receive and O adore him,
Take a full discharge from sin.
Refrain

Come, for all things now are ready,
Yet there's room for many more;
O ye blind, ye lame and needy,
Come to wisdom's boundless store.
Refrain
