Jesus poor sinners will receive

Verse 1

Jesus, poor sinners will receive, And make them welcome too; He calls on them to come and live! I am a friend to you.

Verse 2

He eats and drinks, and treats with them, On gracious terms of peace; And they who firmly b'lieve on him, Shall know his pard'ning grace.

Verse 3

He seeks them as poor wand'ring sheep, Who e'er and go astray; And by his providence will keep, Them in the righteous way.

Verse 4

He calls them with a loving voice, And wishes them to come; And angels too with him rejoice! To see them turning home.

Verse 5

He seeks the lost till they are found, He saves and sets them free; His heart with pure desires abound, Their happiness to see.

Verse 6

O why should sinners dread or fear? On Jesus to attend-- Who calls on them to bring them near, To him, their Lord and friend.
