Bleeding hearts, defiled by sin,

Jesus Christ can make you clean;

Contrite souls, with guilt oppressed,

Jesus Christ can give you rest.

2 You that mourn o’er follies past,

Precious hours and years laid waste;

Turn to God, O turn and live,

Jesus Christ can still forgive.

3 You that oft have wandered far

From the light of Bethlehem’s star,

Trembling, now your steps retrace,

Jesus Christ is full of grace.

4 Souls benighted and forlorn,

Grieved, afflicted, tempest-worn,

Now in Israel’s rock confide,

Jesus Christ for man has died.

5 Fainting souls, in peril’s hour,

Yield not to the tempter’s power;

On the risen Lord rely,

Jesus Christ now reigns on high.
