Come Boldly to the Throne of Grace

Come boldly to the throne of grace, ye wretched sinners come;
And lay your load at Jesus' feet, and plead what he has done.
"How can I come?" some soul may say, "I'm lame and cannot walk;
My guilt and sin have stopped my mouth; I sigh, but dare not talk."


Come boldly to the throne of grace, though lost, and blind, and lame;
Jehovah is the sinner's Friend, and ever was the same.
He makes the dead to hear His voice; He makes the blind to see;
The sinner lost He came to save, and set the prisoner free.

Come boldly to the throne of grace, for Jesus fills the throne;
And those He kills He makes alive; He hears the sigh or groan.
Poor bankrupt souls, who feel and know the hell of sin within,
Come boldly to the throne of grace; the Lord will take you in.
