Lyics

BACKSLIDERS who your mis'ry feel,

Attend your Saviour's call;

Return, He'll your backslidings heal;

O, crown Him Lord of All.



Tho' crimson sin increase your guilt,

And painful in your thrall:

For broken hearts his blood was spilt,

O, crown Him Lord of All.



Take with you words, approach his throne,

And low before Him fall;

He understands the spirit's groan,

O crown Him Lord of All.



Whoever comes he'll not cast out,

Although your faith be small;

His faithfulness you cannot doubt,

Then crown Him Lord of All.
