1. Would Jesus have the sinner die?
Why hangs He Thou on yonder tree?
What means that strange expiring cry?
Sinners, He prays for you and me,
Sinners, He prays for you and me,
“Forgive them, Father, oh, forgive!
They know not that by Me they live,
They know not that by Me they live.
2. Oh, let me kiss Thy bleeding feet,
And bathe and wash them with my tears;
The story of Thy love repeat
In ev’ry drooping sinner’s ears,
In ev’ry drooping sinner’s ears,
They all may hear the quick’ning sound,
Since I, e’en I have mercy found,
Since I, e’en I have mercy found.
3. Oh, let Thy love my heart constrain,
Thy love for ev’ry sinner free;
That ev’ry fallen soul of man
May taste the grace that found out me;
May taste the grace that found out me;
That all mankind with me may prove
Thy sov’reign, everlasting love!
Thy sov’reign, everlasting love!
