Would Jesus Have the Sinner Die?
Would Jesus have the sinner die? Why hangs He then on yonder tree?
What means that strange expiring cry? (Sinners, He prays for you and me;)
Forgive them, Father, O forgive! They know not that by Me they live.
Jesus, descended from above, our loss of Eden to retrieve,
Great God of universal love, if all the world through Thee may live,
In us a quick’ning spirit be, and witness Thou hast died for me.
Thou loving, all-atoning Lamb, - Thee, by Thy painful agony,
Thy bloody sweat, Thy grief and shame, Thy cross and passion on the tree,
Thy precious death and life - I pray, take all, take all my sins away.
O let Thy love my heart constrain, - Thy love, for every sinner free, -
That every fallen son of man may taste the grace that found out me;
That all mankind with me may prove Thy sov’reign, everlasting love.
Charles Wesley, The Christian Book of Mystical Verse, (Camp Hill, Pennsylvania: Christian Publications), 30.
