Jesus, the Sinner's Friend to Thee

Charles Wesley • English

Primary Scripture: Matthew 11:19

Verse 1

Jesus, the sinner’s Friend, to Thee, Lost and undone, for aid I flee, Weary of earth, myself, and sin; Open Thine arms, and take me in.

Verse 2

Pity and heal my sin-sick soul; ’Tis Thou alone canst make me whole; Dark, till in me Thine image shine, And lost, I am, till Thou art mine.

Verse 3

At last I own it cannot be That I should fit myself for Thee: Here, then, to Thee I all resign; Thine is the work, and only Thine.

Verse 4

What shall I say Thy grace to move? Lord, I am sin, but Thou art love: I give up every plea beside- Lord, I am lost, but Thou hast died. AMEN.
