"Thus I worked and fretted,
Strove to keep God's law;
Vows new-made, and broken,
All the fruit I saw.
Then I heard of Jesus!
And, while drowned in tears,
He drew gently near me,
Quieting my fears."

"'Come,' He said, 'poor sinner,'
(Oh, that welcome word
Seemed the sweetest message
My poor heart had heard,)
'Come! My work is finished,
And thy labor lost;
See thy soul's redemption,
And the price it cost.'"

"Then I told Him over
All my life of sin;
'Now,' I said, 'or never,
Will He let me in!'
