Come, Like the Leper

Verse 1

There was one who came and knelt at Jesus’ feet, With sad and downcast eye; He had heard his doom: O leper, now depart, Go forth alone to die.

Chorus

O the love, tender love O the love, tender love O the love That Jesus for the soul can feel! Come in faith just now, as once the leper came, Where still He waits to heal.

Verse 2

With a cheerful step the leper went his way; Great joy had filled his soul; For the Lord reached forth His ever gracious hand; His touch had made him whole.

Verse 3

Weary heats bowed down, come worship at the feet Of Him, your Lord, to-day; O believe on Him who shed His precious blood To take your sins away.
