Lyrics

Tho’ you’re stray­ing in dark­ness a­way from the fold,
In blind­ness e’er deem­ing your bless­ings but few,
If to­day you’ll re­pent, there is rap­ture un­told,
A glo­ri­ous par­don for you.

Refrain

O sin­ner, there’s par­don
Thro’ Je­sus’ own sac­ri­ficed blood;
O sin­ner, there’s par­don
Too long in your doubt­ing you’ve stood!

Our Re­deem­er has pro­mised to all who be­lieve
The boon of for­give­ness, I know it is true;
Oh! no long­er de­lay­ing, sin’s wil­der­ness leave,
There’s glo­ri­ous par­don for you.

Refrain

There’s a place at the feet of our Sav­ior and king
So ea­sy to find, if by faith you pur­sue;
With a heart that is hum­ble your bur­dens now bring,
There’s glo­ri­ous par­don for you.

Refrain

Since His blood is suf­fi­cient for ev­er­y sin,
Oh! come as the Sav­ior is bid­ding you do;
He will glad­ly re­ceive and will cleanse you with­in,
There’s glo­ri­ous par­don for you.
