Jesu, Thou All Redeeming Lord

Jesu

Thou all re­deem­ing Lord

Thy bless­ing we im­plore;

Open the door to preach Thy Word

The great

ef­fect­ual door.

Gather the out­casts in

and save

From sin

and Sa­tan’s pow­er;

And let them now ac­cept­ance have

And know their gra­cious hour.

O that to these poor Gen­tiles now

The door were op­ened wide

O that their stiff-necked souls might bow

To Je­sus cru­ci­fied!

Lover of souls

Thou know­est to prize

What Thou hast bought so dear:

Come then

and in Thy peo­ple’s eyes

With all Thy wounds ap­pear.

Appear

as when of old con­fessed

The suf­fer­ing Son of God

And let them see Thee in Thy vest:

But new­ly dipped in blood.

The hard­ness of their hearts re­move

Thou who for all hast died;

Show them the tok­ens of Thy love

Thy feet

Thy hands

Thy side.

Thy feet were nailed to yon­der tree

To tram­ple down their sin;

Thy hands they all stretched out may see

To take the mur­der­ers in.

Thy side an op­en fount­ain is

Where all may free­ly go

And drink the liv­ing streams of bliss

And wash them white as snow.

Ready Thou art the blood to ap­ply

And prove the re­cord true;

And all Thy wounds to sin­ners cry

I suf­fered this for you!

Swearers

and whore­mon­gers

and thieves

Before your Sav­ior fall

Receive the Man who all re­ceives

And paid the debt for all.

Lovers of plea­sure more than God

For you He suf­fered pain:

Railers

for you He spilt His blood;

And shall He bleed in vain?

Misers

His life for you He paid

Your bas­est crime He bore;

Drunkards

your sins on Him were laid

That ye might sin no more.

Ye liars

and blas­phem­ers too

Who speak the phrase of hell

Ye mur­der­ers all

He died for you

He loved your souls so well.

Ye mon­sters of un­na­tur­al vice

Too hor­ri­ble to name

To ran­som you He paid the price

To pluck you from the flame.

Vilest of all th’apos­tate race

Who dare your God de­ny

Arians

your God died in your place

In yours

ye De­ists

die.

Haters of God

your mad­ness mourn

And God will yet for­give;

To Je­sus

friend of sin­ners

turn

Who died that ye might live.

The God of love

to earth He came;

That you might come to Heav­en;

Believe

be­lieve in Je­su’s name

And all your sins for­giv­en.

Believe

that Je­sus died for Thee;

And sure as He hath died

Thy debt is paid

thy soul is free

And thou art jus­ti­fied.
