Is There a Friend in Earth or Heav’n?

Is there a friend in earth or Heav’n

Who can a mor­tal save?

Can make a lep­rous sin­ner clean

Redeem a help­less slave?

Say

is there one who can ap­pease

A sin-aveng­ing God?

Can save a soul o’er­whelmed with guilt

By wrath and terr­or awed?

Yes

there is One who dwells on high

Who this can do and more;

Can save from sin and sin’s des­ert

By His un­bound­ed pow­er.

Jesus Im­ma­nu­el is His name

Who suf­fered on the tree

And bore the weight of all my sins

And bled and died for me.

Lo

now He lives

He ev­er lives

And pleads what He has done;

While God ten thou­sand crimes for­gives

Through His aton­ing Son.

Now to Thy cross

my Lord

I come

And there would pros­trate lie;

Be Thou pro­pi­tious to my pray­er

Nor let a sin­ner die.
