LyicsNOT to condemn the sons of men,
Did Christ the Son of God appear;
No weapons in his hands are seen,
No flaming sword, no thunder there.
Such was the pity of our God--
He loved the race of man so well--
He sent his son to bear our load
Of sin, and save our souls from hell.
Sinners believe the Father's word,
Trust in the name of Christ and live:
A thousand joys his lips afford;
His hand a thousand blessings give.
Say, "we believe the heavenly word,
And fain would have our souls renew'd;
We mourn our sins, believe him Lord--
O pardon! for we sink subdued."
Lord, let thy grace its power display;
Let guilt and death no longer reign;
Save them in thine appointed way,
Nor let their humble faith be vain.
