¶Lyrics / Text

Weary of Earth and laden with my sin, I look at heaven, and long to enter in; But there no evil thing may find a home, And yet I hear a voice that bids me, "Come." So vile I am, how dare I hope to stand In the pure glory of that holy land? Before the whiteness of that throne appear? Yet there are hands stretched out to draw me near. The while I fain would tread the heavenly way Evil is ever with me day by day; Yet on mine ears the gracious tidings fall, "Repent, confess, thou shalt be loosed from all!" It is the voice of Jesus that I hear, His are the hands stretched out to draw me near, And His the Blood that can for all atone, And set me faultless there before the throne. Nought can I bring, dear Lord, for all I owe, Yet let my full heart what it can bestow; Like Mary's gift, let my devotion prove. Forgiven greatly, how I greatly love.
