SUCH an offer! Full and free?
Is it really meant for me!
That all my sins on Christ were laid,
That all my debt by Him was paid?
Yes: Jesus says it, who has died:—
“Believe”, and thou art justified.
Such an offer! Pardon now
For hidden sin, and broken vow!
For years of cold neglect and scorn;
Can mercy’s ray upon me dawn?
Yes: Jesus died instead of thee;
His death for thine, must be thy plea.
Such an offer! Peace and joy
Untainted by the world’s alloy;
The sweet assurance of a Friend
Who, loving, loves unto the end;
The knowledge now of sins forgiven
And of a home prepared in heaven.
O, what goodness! Lord, I take
This offer Thou dost freely make!
My one desire shall henceforth be
To live for Him who died for me.
Spread glad news, thro’ every-nation!
Instant—free—and full salvation.
