Repentance · Hymn 134 · 12.11.12.12 & Ref
When to Jesus the King in repentance I came
“And whosoever cometh unto me shall I in no wise cast out”. John 6:37
1.
When to Jesus the King in repentance I came
And knelt at His throne pleading grace in His name
What a wonderful smile on His face I could see
In forgiveness He held out the Sceptre to me
Refrain
’Twas the sceptre of love and of pardoning grace
’Twas the scepter of mercy so free
The King of all heaven down from His throne
And held out the scepter to me
2.
What a sinner was I, and how far I had stray’d
For folly and sin, what a price I had paid
I was hopeless indeed, as I stood all alone
Till I heard His sweet call and approach’d His white Throne
3.
If to Jesus the King you will now yield your heart
He’ll make it His home, and will never depart
Just repent and confess, then what joy it will be
Just to have Jesus held out His scepter to Thee
Amen
