1 Weary of earth and laden with my sin,
I look to heaven and long to enter in,
but there no evil thing may find a home-
and yet I hear a voice that bids me "Come."

2 So vile I am, how dare I hope to stand
in the pure glory of that holy land;
before the brightness of that throne appear?
Yet there are Hands stretched out to draw me near.

3 But while I long to tread the heavenly way,
evil is ever with me day by day;
yet on my ears the gracious tidings fall;
"Repent, confess, and be forgiven all."

4 It is the voice of Jesus that I hear
His are the hands stretched out to draw me near,
and His the blood that can for all atone,
and set me faultless there before the throne.

5 'Twas He who found me, lost and straying wild,
and made me heir of heaven, the Father's child,
and day by-day, whereby my soul may live,
gives me His grace of pardon, and will give.

6 O great Absolver! Grant my soul may wear
the lowly garb of penitence and prayer,
that in the Father's courts my glorious dress
may be the garment of Thy righteousness.

7 Thy grace will answer for me, righteous Lord!
Thine all the merits, mine the great reward;
Thine the sharp thorns, and mine the golden crown,
mine the life won and Thine the life laid down!

8 Naught can I bring, dear Lord, for all I owe,
but let my full heart, what it can, bestow;
like that sweet nard, let my devotion prove;
greatly forgiven, how I greatly love.

Updated Format! Beginning in November of 2016, we changed the way we formatted our PowerPoint files. The font is larger and the staff lines are bolder, making the songs easier to read from a greater distance, including smaller screens/monitors in the rear of the sanctuary.

All songs digitized previous to that date are in the "older" format.
