Is Jesus Able to Redeem?

lyricist: Anne Cousin, 1877
Composer: Ira Sankey (1840–1908)

Is Je­sus able to re­deem

A sin­ner lost

like me?

My sins so great

so ma­ny seem!

O sinner

come and see.

The blood that Je­sus shed of old

Was shed for you and me:

And there is room with­in the fold—

O come to Him and see.

Is Je­sus will­ing to for­give

A re­bel child

like me?

Who would not in His fa­vor live?

O re­bel

come and see.

Is Je­sus wait­ing to re­lieve

A wan­derer

like me

Who chose the Fa­ther’s house to leave?

O wan­derer

come and see.

Is Je­sus rea­dy now to save

A guil­ty one

like me

Who brought Him to the cross and grave?

Come

guil­ty one

and see.
