The Promise of Pardon

Verse 1

We all like sheep have gone astray, We’ve turned us each to His own way; In sinful thought and word and deed! And on God’s Lamb our guilt was laid.

Chorus

Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; And let him return unto the Lord, And He will abundantly pardon; Let him return unto the Lord, And He will abundantly pardon.

Verse 2

O hear and heed the prophet’s cry, “Ye sons of men, why will ye die? Why do ye spend your strength for naught, For bread which satisfieth not?

Verse 3

“Incline your ear and come to Me, And take salvation’s waters free; Here all your sins and sorrows cure, IN David’s mercies sweet and sure.”

Verse 4

Proclaim this gospel grace to all, The thoughtless throng in pleasure’s thrall; The busy world, refined, or rude And all the sin stained brotherhood.
