To Avert From Men God's Wrath

1. To a- vert from men God's wrath Je- sus suf- fered in our stead; By an ig- no- min- ious death He a full a- tone- ment made; And by His most pre- cious blood, Brought us, sin- ners, nigh to God.

2. That we nev- er should for- get This great Love on us be- stowed, He gave us His flesh to eat, and to drink His pre- cious blood; All who sick and need- y are May re- ceive in Him a share.

3. Hi- ther each af- flict- ed soul May re- pair, though filled with grief; To the sick, not to the whole, the Phy- si- cian brings re- lief; Fear not, there- fore, but draw nigh, Christ will all your wants sup- ply.

4. He who in self\- right- eous- ness Fix- es a- ny hope or stay, Has not on a wed- ding dress, And with shame is sent a- way; To the hun- gry, wear- y heart, He will food and rest im- part.

5. But ex- am- ine first your case, Whe- ther you be in the faith; Do you long for par- d'ning grace? Is your on- ly hope His death? Then, how- e'er your soul's op- pressed, Come, you are a wor- thy guest.
