Mourning souls, by sin distressed

Richard Burnham • English

Primary Scripture: John 19:3-4

Verse 1

Mourning souls, by sin distressed, Lost and ruined, void of good, You can never be released, But by faith in Jesus’ blood.

Verse 2

Richly flowed the crimson river, Down Immanuel’s lovely side; And that blood will you deliver, Whensoever ’tis applied.

Verse 3

Christ is ready to receive you; See his bloody cross appear. From your sins he will relieve you, And dissolve your every fear.

Verse 4

O behold the Lord expiring; See the suffering Lamb of God! And that love be much admiring, Which appears in streams of blood.
