85. Just as Thou Art--Without One Trace

8.8.8.6.
1
Just as thou art — without one trace
 
Of love, or joy, or inward grace,
 
Or meetness for the heavenly place — 
 
O guilty sinner, come!
2
Burdened with guilt, wouldst thou be blest?
 
Trust not the world; it gives no rest;
 
Christ brings relief to hearts oppressed — 
 
O weary sinner, come!
3
Come, leave thy burden at the cross;
 
Count all thy gains but empty dross;
 
His grace o’erpays all earthly loss — 
 
O needy sinner, come!
4
Come, hither bring thy boding fears,
 
Thine aching heart, thy bursting tears;
 
’Tis mercy’s voice salutes thine ears;
 
O trembling sinner, come!
5
"The Spirit and the bride say, Come";
 
Rejoicing saints reecho, "Come."
 
Who faints, who thirsts, who will, may come,
 
The Savior bids thee, come!
