Page 21 "Ye all may hide you in my breast, Believe, and I will give you rest. "Ah! Do not of my goodness doubt, My saving grace for all is free; I will in no wise cast him out Who comes, a sinner, unto me, I can to none myself deny: Why, sinners, will ye perish, why?" (The mournful cause let Jesus tell) "They will not come to me, and live: I did not force them to rebel, Or call, when I had nought to give, Invite them to believe a lie, Or any soul of man pass by." Sinners, believe the gospel-word, Jesus is come, your souls to save! Jesus is come, your common Lord! Pardon ye all in him may have; May now be saved, whoever will: This man receiveth sinners still. See where the lame, the halt, the blind, The deaf, the dumb, the sick, the poor Flock to the friend of humankind, And freely all accept their cure: To whom doth he his help deny? Whom in his days of flesh pass by? Did not his word, the fiends expel? The lepers cleanse, and raise the dead? Did he not all their sickness heal, And satisfy their every need? Did he reject his helpless clay, Or send them sorrowful away?
