My Savior Sinners Doth Receive

My Sav­ior sin­ners doth re­ceive

Who find no rest and no sal­va­tion

To whom no man can com­fort give

So great their guilt and con­dem­na­tion;

For whom the world is all too small

Their sins both them and God appall;

With whom the law itself hath brok­en

On whom its judg­ment hath been spok­en—

To them the Gos­pel hope doth give:

My Sav­ior sin­ners doth re­ceive.

My Sav­ior sin­ners doth re­ceive.

A love more deep than mo­ther-love

With which His heart was ov­er­flow­ing

Drew Him on earth from Heav’n above

On sin­ners bound­less grace be­stow­ing

He in their stead a curse be­came

He bore the cross with all its shame;

Brought full atone­ment by His suf­fer­ing

Gave up His life for them an of­fer­ing.

This com­fort doth the Gos­pel give:

My Sav­ior sin­ners doth re­ceive.

My Sav­ior sin­ners doth re­ceive.

His lov­ing bosom still re­mains

A hav­en for the hea­vy la­den;

Christ frees them from their guil­ty stains

Their bur­dened hearts doth ease and glad­den.

He casts in­to th’un­fa­thomed sea

The load of their ini­qui­ty;

He gives as­sur­ance by His Spir­it

That they are saved through His own mer­it.

Yea

they shall live who this be­lieve:

My Sav­ior sin­ners doth re­ceive.

My Sav­ior sin­ners doth re­ceive.

Say not: My sins are far too great

His mercy I have scorned and slight­ed

Now my re­pent­ance is too late;

I came not when His love in­vit­ed.

O trem­bling sin­ner

have no fear;

In pe­ni­tence to Christ draw near.

Come now

though con­science still is chid­ing;

Accept His mer­cy

e’er abid­ing.

Come; blest are they who this be­lieve:

My Sav­ior sin­ners doth re­ceive.

My Sav­ior sin­ners doth re­ceive.

Oh

draw us ev­er un­to Thee

Thou friend of sin­ners

gra­cious Sav­ior;

Help us that we may fer­vent­ly

Desire Thy par­don

peace and fa­vor.

When guil­ty con­science doth re­prove

Reveal to us Thy heart of love.

May we

our wretch­ed­ness be­hold­ing

See then Thy par­don­ing grace un­fold­ing

And say: To God all glo­ry be:

My Sav­ior

Christ

re­ceiv­eth me.

My Sav­ior

Christ

re­ceiv­eth me.
