Text
Ye friends of religion, I pray give attention;
I'll tell you what Jesus has done for my soul:
A sinner by nature, a sinner by practice,
An unworthy sinner by grace was made whole.
I saw that my heart was a seat of corruption,
And my best performance could do me no good;
I cried out for mercy, "Lord Jesus, relieve me!
Or I must be spurned from the presence of God."
But mercy, free mercy, that still interposes,
And pleads for the vilest of sinners like me;
God's goodness appeared in the suffering of Jesus,
And opened a way for to set my soul free.
God's justice requirèd a sinless obedience,
And I was ashamed, and I fell to the ground;
Then Jesus appeared, and He quickly relieved me,
And that very moment the pardon I found.
