Lyrics

Where are thy sins, O bro­ther, where?
Child of sor­row and des­pair,
Dost thou still thy bur­dens bear?
O bring them all to Je­sus.

Refrain

Who is a God like un­to Thee,
Pardoneth all ini­qui­ty,
Casteth our sins in the depths of the sea,
Because He de­light­eth in mer­cy.

Where are thy sins, O bro­ther, pray?
Not one mo­ment long­er stay;
He will speak thy sins away,
O bring them all to Je­sus.

Refrain

Where are thy sins? O bro­ther, see,
Radiance beams from Cal­va­ry;
Pardoned now thy sins may be,
O bring them all to Je­sus.

Refrain

Yield now, O yield! my bro­ther dear,
Jesus speaks sweet words of cheer;
Joy will come in­stead of fear;
Surrender all to Je­sus.
