See, Sinners, in the Gospel Glass

lyricist: Charles Wesley, 1741
Composer: James Walton, 1864

See

sin­ners

in the Gos­pel glass

The friend and Sav­ior of man­kind!

Not one of all the apos­tate race

But may in Him sal­va­tion find!

His thoughts

and words

and act­ions prove

His life and death

that God is love!

Behold the Lamb of God

who bears

The sins of all the world away!

A serv­ant’s form He meek­ly wears

He so­journs in a house of clay

His glo­ry is no long­er seen

But God with God is man with men.

See where the God in­car­nate stands

And calls His wan­der­ing crea­tures home

He all day long spreads out His hands

“Come

wea­ry souls

to Je­sus come!

Ye all may hide you in My breast

Believe

and I will give you rest.

Ah! do not of My good­ness doubt;

My sav­ing grace for all is free;

I will in no wise cast him out

That comes a sin­ner un­to Me;

I can to none My­self de­ny

Why

sin­ners

will ye per­ish

why?
