Have You Heard? (Alman)

Have you heard the news pro­claimed

How the wan­der­ers are re­claimed

And the blind

and halt

and maimed

Have a friend in Je­sus?

A friend in need

a friend in­deed

Have you this friend in Je­sus?

Have you heard the tid­ings go

Into homes of want and woe

There to let poor sin­ners know

What a friend in Je­sus?

In the sick-ward by the cot

When the throb­bing brow is hot

Creature helps avail­ing not

Oh

how sweet is Je­sus!

Have you in the pri­son cell

Heard those sweet­est notes which tell

For con­demned ones

all is well

When they trust in Je­sus?

Let your voic­es thus pro­claim

In the haunts of sin and shame

Free for­giv­eness in His name

Precious name of Je­sus.
