Gift So Great

[sama smsma]

1. Jesus died on a cross—oh, what awful cost!—
   That He might from sin’s blight save us, sinners lost;
   Harken, soul, hear Him call, open wide the door,
   Taste and see love so free, yours forevermore;
   Still He waits patiently, pleading one more time:
   Now believe, now receive saving grace sublime.
2. In this world we will have burdens hard to bear:
   Jesus came cares to claim, and our sorrows share;
   Weary soul, come to Christ, give Him all your woes—
   In Him find peace of mind, rest, relief, repose;
   When the waves, tossing wild, seem to speak an end,
   There, until “Peace, be still,” faithful stands a Friend.
3. Sinful soul, idle not, time is passing by,
   Be not blind, sin will bind tighter and for aye;
   Ere thy heart harder grows, won’t you heed the call?
   Won’t you choose? Don’t refuse mercy free for all;
   Savior sent, still He stands, sacrifice from Heav’n,
   Gift so great—do not wait, come and be forgiv’n.
4. Lord, I come, come to Thee, bringing all my sin,
   Thou alone can atone, wash me white within;
   Sin’s desires I have fed I do now forsake,
   Satan’s hold, though of old, I would ever break;
   This I cry, hopeful, and, as I cross the line,
   Set my will; Thou fulfill, save and make me Thine.
