Mourning Souls, By Sin Distressed
Richard Burnham, 1749-1810
Mourning souls, by sin distressed,
Lost and ruined, void of
good,
You can never be released,
But by faith in
Jesus’ blood.
Richly flowed the crimson river,
Down Immanuel’s lovely side;
And that blood will you
deliver,
Whensoever ’tis applied.
Christ is ready
to receive you;
See his bloody cross appear.
From your
sins he will relieve you,
And dissolve your every
fear.
O behold the Lord expiring;
See the
suffering Lamb of God!
And that love be much admiring,
Which appears in streams of blood.
