Author: Christian I. Latrobe Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6842 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1. To avert from men God’s wrath,
Jesus suffered in our stead;
By an ignominious death
He a full atonement made;
And by His most precious blood
Brought us, sinners, nigh to God.
2. Hither each afflicted soul
May repair, though filled with grief;
To the sick, not to the whole,
The Physician brings relief;
Fear not, therefore, but draw nigh;
Christ will all your wants supply.
3. But examine first your case,
Whether you be in the faith;
Do you long for pard’ning grace?
Is your only hope His death?
Then, howe’er your soul’s oppressed,
Come, you are a worthy guest.
4. He who Jesus’ mercy knows
Is from wrath and envy freed.
Love unto each other shows
That we are His flock indeed;
Thus we may in all our ways
Show forth our Redeemer’s praise. Languages: English Tune Title: REDHEAD
