Religion

I Me! did Jesus come for me?
The God who reigns above,
Could He stoop to misery,
A Man of grief and love!
Tf Thou didst forsake the sky,
Sinners to save from endless woe,
Here, the sinners' chief am I,
Thy chief concern below.

Call (and give me ears to hear)
My soul out of its fall,
Call to godly grief and fear,
To true repentance call.
Call me Thine embrace to meet,
To know and feel my sins forgiven.
Call me then to love complete,
And call me up to heaven.
