211. ‘Though we’‘re weary, heavy-laden.’

edit

1. Though we’re weary, heavy-laden,
Lost and ruin’d in the fall;
God in Christ is our salvation,
He to us is all in all:
Not the righteous,
Sinners Jesus came to call.

2. And for us, though poor and wretched,
(God’s redeeming love adore!)
Jesus stands in heav’n a Saviour,
Full of mercy join’d with pow’r;
He is able,
He is willing evermore.

3. Conscience could not make us linger,
Nor of fitness could we dream;
All the fitness He requireth,
Is that we have need of Him:
Jesus gave us
Free salvation in His name.

4. See the Saviour high ascended,
Pleads for us His precious blood; 
On the Father’s grace depending,
We, thro’ Him, the sons of God, 
Trust in Jesus,
Who alone the winepress trod.
