Jesus, Friend of sinners, hear
A feeble creature pray;
From my debt of sin set clear,
For I have nought to pay.
Speak, O speak my kind release,
My backsliding soul restore;
Love me freely, seal my peace,
And let me rove no more.
Though my sins as mountains rise,
And swell and reach to heaven,
Mercy is above the skies
And I shall be forgiven.
Mighty is my guilt's increase,
Greater is Thy mercy's store;
Love me freely, seal my peace,
And let me rove no more.
From the oppressive weight of sin
My struggling spirit free;
Blood and righteousness divine
Can rescue even me.
Holy Spirit, shed The grace,
Let me feel the softening shower;
Love me freely, seal my peace,
And let me rove no more.
