Amazing Sight: The Savior Stands

lyricist: Henry Alline (1748–1784)
Composer: Frederick Gore-Ouseley (1825–1889)

Amazing sight: The Sav­ior stands

And knocks at ev­ery door;

Ten thou­sand bless­ings in His hand

For to sup­ply the poor.

Behold

He saith

“I bleed and die

To bring poor souls to rest;

Hear sin­ners

while I’m pass­ing by

And be for­ev­er blest.

“Will you des­pise such bleed­ing love

And choose the way to hell;

Or in the glo­ri­ous realms above

With Me for­ev­er dwell?

“Not to con­demn your sink­ing race

Have I in judg­ment come;

But to dis­play un­bound­ed grace

And bring lost sin­ners home.

“May I not save your wretch­ed soul

From sin

from death and hell?

Wounded or sick

I’ll make you whole

And you with Me shall dwell.

“Say

will you hear My gra­cious voice

And have your sins for­giv’n?

Or will you make a wretch­ed choice

And bar your­selves from Heav’n?

“Will you go down to end­less night

And be for­ev­er slain

Or dwell in ev­er­last­ing light

Where I in glo­ry reign?

Come now

dear soul

be­fore I go

While I am pass­ing by;

Say

will you bow to Me

or no?

Say

will you live or die?
