The leper in his painful case

Verse 1

The leper in his painful case Trusts to the Saviour's pow'r and grace; He soon was made to feel, and know What Jesus by his word could do.

Verse 2

The pain and anguish he did feel, Which none on all the earth could heal; Was soon remov'd, and done away: Soon as to Jesus he did pray.

Verse 3

When my whole state of mind I view, I find I am a Leper too; A Leper of the vilest kind, And no relief or cure I find.

Verse 4

I am defil'd in ev'ry part, And pain and anguish fills my heart: My very soul is fill'd with sin And I must cry, unclean, unclean.

Verse 5

But as my Saviour passes by, Then like the Leper I will cry: Lord! thou can'st cure me if thou wilt! O! cleanse my soul from sin and guilt.

Verse 6

My great Phycision Christ shall be To cleanse my soul, and set me free, And I shall know his love and pow'r, And praise and thank him ever more.
