<div class="lyrics">
<p>Weary of earth, and laden with my sin,<br>
I look at heav&#8217;n and long to enter in,<br>
But there no evil thing may find a home:<br>
And yet I hear a voice that bids me &#8220;Come.&#8221;</p>
<p>The while I fain would tread the heav&#8217;nly way<br>
Evil is ever with me day by day;<br>
Yet on mine ears the gracious tidings fall:<br>
&#8220;Repent, confess, thou shalt be loosed from all.&#8221;</p>
<p>It is the voice of Jesus that I hear;<br>
His are the hands stretched out to draw me near,<br>
And His the blood that can for all atone,<br>
And set me faultless there before the throne.</p>
<p>&#8217;Twas He Who found me on the deathly wild,<br>
And made me heir of heav&#8217;n, the Father&#8217;s child,<br>
And day by day, whereby my soul may live,<br>
Gives me His grace of pardon, and will give.</p>
<p>O great Absolver, grant my soul may wear<br>
The lowliest garb of penitence and prayer,<br>
That in the Father&#8217;s courts my glorious dress<br>
May be the garment of Thy righteousness.</p>
<p>Yea, Thou wilt answer for me, righteous Lord;<br>
Thine all the merits, mine the great reward;<br>
Thine the sharp thorns, and mine the golden crown;<br>
Mine the life won, and Thine the life laid down.</p>
