##(Verse 1) To avert from men God's wrath Jesus suffered in our stead; By an ignominious death He a full atonement made; And by His most precious blood, Brought us, sinners, nigh to God. ##(Verse 2) That we never should forget This great Love on us bestowed, He gave us His flesh to eat, and to drink His precious blood; All who sick and needy are May receive in Him a share. ##(Verse 3) Hither each afflicted soul May repair, though filled with grief; To the sick, not to the whole, the Physician brings relief; Fear not, therefore, but draw nigh, Christ will all your wants supply. ##(Verse 4) He who in self\righteousness Fixes any hope or stay, Has not on a wedding dress, And with shame is sent away; To the hungry, weary heart, He will food and rest impart. ##(Verse 5) But examine first your case, Whether you be in the faith; Do you long for pard'ning grace? Is your only hope His death? Then, howe'er your soul's oppressed, Come, you are a worthy guest. ##(Verse 6) He who Jesus' mercy knows, Is from wrath and envy freed; Love unto our neighbor shows That we are His flock indeed; Thus we may in all our ways Show forth our Redeemer's praise.
