:Weary of earth, and laden with my sin,
1. Weary of earth, and laden with my sin,
:I look at Heav’n and long to enter in,
I look at Heav’n and long to enter in,
:But there no evil thing may find a home:
But there no evil thing may find a home:
:And yet I hear a voice that bids me “Come.”
And yet I hear a voice that bids me “Come.”

2. So vile I am, how dare I hope to stand
:So vile I am, how dare I hope to stand
In the pure glory of that holy land?
:In the pure glory of that holy land?
Before the whiteness of that throne appear?
:Before the whiteness of that throne appear?
Yet there are hands stretched out to draw me near.
:Yet there are hands stretched out to draw me near.

3. The while I fain would tread the heav’nly way
Evil is ever with me day by day;
Yet on mine ears the gracious tidings fall:
“Repent, confess, thou shalt be loosed from all.”

4. It is the voice of Jesus that I hear;
:The while I fain would tread the heav’nly way
His are the hands stretched out to draw me near,
:Evil is ever with me day by day;
And His the blood that can for all atone,
:Yet on mine ears the gracious tidings fall:
And set me faultless there before the throne.
:“Repent, confess, thou shalt be loosed from all.”

5. ’Twas He Who found me on the deathly wild,
And made me heir of Heav’n, the Father’s child,
And day by day, whereby my soul may live,
Gives me His grace of pardon, and will give.

6. O great Absolver, grant my soul may wear
:It is the voice of Jesus that I hear;
The lowliest garb of penitence and prayer,
:His are the hands stretched out to draw me near,
That in the Father’s courts my glorious dress
:And His the blood that can for all atone,
May be the garment of Thy righteousness.
:And set me faultless there before the throne.

7. Yea, Thou wilt answer for me, righteous Lord;
Thine all the merits, mine the great reward;
Thine the sharp thorns, and mine the golden crown;
Mine the life won, and Thine the life laid down.

8. Naught can I bring, dear Lord, for all I owe,
:’Twas He Who found me on the deathly wild,
Yet let my full heart what it can bestow;
:And made me heir of Heav’n, the Father’s child,
Like Mary’s gift, let my devotion prove,
:And day by day, whereby my soul may live,
Forgiven greatly, how greatly I love.
:Gives me His grace of pardon, and will give.
