Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the Lord…for He will freely pardon.

Tho’ you’re strayÂing in darkÂness aÂway from the fold,
In blindÂness e’er deemÂing your blessÂings but few,
If toÂday you’ll reÂpent, there is rapÂture unÂtold,
A gloÂriÂous parÂdon for you.
Refrain
O sinÂner, there’s parÂdon
Thro’ JeÂsus’ own sacÂriÂficed blood;
O sinÂner, there’s parÂdon
Too long in your doubtÂing you’ve stood!
Our ReÂdeemÂer has proÂmised to all who beÂlieve
The boon of forÂgiveÂness, I know it is true;
Oh! no longÂer deÂlayÂing, sin’s wilÂderÂness leave,
There’s gloÂriÂous parÂdon for you.
Refrain
There’s a place at the feet of our SavÂior and king
So eaÂsy to find, if by faith you purÂsue;
With a heart that is humÂble your burÂdens now bring,
There’s gloÂriÂous parÂdon for you.
Refrain
Since His blood is sufÂfiÂcient for evÂerÂy sin,
Oh! come as the SavÂior is bidÂding you do;
He will gladÂly reÂceive and will cleanse you withÂin,
There’s gloÂriÂous parÂdon for you.
