When Sinners See Their Lost Condition

When sin­ners see their lost con­di­tion

And feel the press­ing load of sin

And Je­sus com­eth on His mis­sion

To heal the sin-sick heart with­in

All grief must flee be­fore His grace

And joy di­vine will take its place.

When Je­sus en­ters meek and low­ly

To fill the home with sweet­est peace;

When hearts have felt His bless­ing ho­ly

And found from sin com­plete re­lease

Then light and calm with­in shall reign

And hearts di­vid­ed love again.

When Je­sus en­ters land and na­tion

And moves the people with His love;

When

yield­ing to His kind per­sua­sion

Our hearts His truth and bless­ing prove

Then shall our life on earth be blest

The peace of God on us shall rest.

When Je­sus comes—O bless­èd sto­ry!—

He works a change in heart and life;

God’s king­dom comes with pow’r and glo­ry

To young and old

to man and wife;

Thro’ sac­ra­ment and liv­ing Word

Faith

love

and hope are now con­ferred.

Then stilled are cries and la­men­ta­tion

Then loosed is Sa­tan’s ev­ery band;

In death is hope and con­so­la­tion

The soul is safe in Je­sus’ hand.

When we shall walk through death’s dark vale

His rod and staff shall nev­er fail.

Oh

may He soon to ev­ery na­tion

Find en­trance where He is un­known

With life and light and full sal­va­tion

That hea­then­dom may be o’er­thrown

And heal­ing to the hearts may come

In hea­then land and Christ­ian home!
