Hymn using same tune:

#1238

 

 1  Sinner Jesus will receive;

       Sound this word of grace to all

    Who the heavenly pathway leave,

       All who linger, all who fall.

 

Sing it o'er and o'er again;

Christ receiveth sinful men;

Make the message clear and plain:

Christ receiveth sinful men.

 

 2  Come, and He will give you rest;

       Trust Him for His word is plain;

    He will take the sinfulest;

       Christ receiveth sinful men.

 

Sing it o'er and o'er again;

Christ receiveth sinful men;

Make the message clear and plain:

Christ receiveth sinful men.

 

 3  Now my heart condemns me not,

       Pure before the law I stand;

    He who cleansed me from all spot,

       Satisfied its last demand.

 

Sing it o'er and o'er again;

Christ receiveth sinful men;

Make the message clear and plain:

Christ receiveth sinful men.

 

 4  Christ receiveth sinful men,

       Even me with all my sin;

    Purged from every spot and stain,

       Glory I shall enter in.

 

Sing it o'er and o'er again;

Christ receiveth sinful men;

Make the message clear and plain:

Christ receiveth sinful men.
