"What has the debtor-man to bring
As tribute to the Eternal King?
Nothing!
Still let him come to God, and prove
His riches, His abounding love.
What has the sinner-man to bring
As a sufficient offering?
Nothing!
Still let him come to God, whose grace
Has bruised a Savior in his place.
Come then, poor sinner, come and sing;
Come in thy poverty, and bring-
Nothing!
God bids thee in His grace believe;
God bids thee from His grace receive—
Everything! "
"This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners."
