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!
