Here is hope for all who grieve: Jesus sinners doth receive. 2 We deserve but grief and shame, Yet His words, rich grace revealing, Pardon, peace, and life proclaim; Here our ills have perfect healing. Firmly in these words believe: Jesus sinners doth receive. 3 Sheep that from the fold did stray No true shepherd e'er forsaketh; Weary souls that lost their way Christ, the Shepherd, gently taketh In His arms that they may live: Jesus sinners doth receive. 4 I, a sinner, come to Thee With a penitent confession. Savior, mercy show to me; Grant for all my sins remission. Let these words my soul relieve: Jesus sinners doth receive. 5 Oh, how blest it is to know: Were as scarlet my transgression, It shall be as white as snow By Thy blood and bitter passion: For these words I now believe: Jesus sinners doth receive. 6 Now my conscience is at peace; From the Law I stand acquitted. Christ hath purchased my release And my ev'ry sin remitted. Naught remains my soul to grieve: Jesus sinners doth receive. 7 Jesus sinners doth receive; Also I have been forgiven; And when I this earth must leave, I shall find an open heaven. Dying, still to Him I cleave: Jesus sinners doth receive.

Jesus I will never leave, Who for me Himself hath given; Firmly unto Him I’ll cleave Nor from Him be ever driven. Life from Him doth light receive, Jesus I will never leave. 2. Jesus I will never leave While on earth I am abiding; That I have to Him I give, All my cares in Him confiding. Naught shall me of Him bereave, Jesus I will never leave. 3. Though my sight shall pass away, Hearing, taste, and feeling fail me; Though my life’s last light of day Shall o’ertake and sore assail me; When His summons I receive, Jesus I will never leave. 4. Nor will I my Jesus leave When at last I shall come thither Where His saints He will receive, Where in bliss they live together. Endless joy to me He’ll give, Jesus I will never leave. 5. Not for earth’s vain joys I crave Nor, without him, Heaven’s pleasure; Jesus, who my soul did save, Evermore shall be my Treasure. He redemption did achieve, Jesus I will never leave.

Clothed in robes of spotless white, Now it dwells with Thee in light. 3 O Lord Jesus, grant that we There may live where it is living, And the blissful pastures see That its heav'nly food are giving. Lost awhile our treasured love, Gained forever, safe above. Amen. Topics: The Last Things Death and Burial Scripture: Matthew 18:2 Used With Tune: MEINEN JESUM LASS' ICH NICHT

Pardon, healing, peace restore; Thou art true, and wilt relieve me. Lord, I praise Thee! and believe Thou my offering dost receive. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany Used With Tune: LUBECK
