32 When Sinners See Their Lost Condition

1 When sinners see their lost condition And feel the pressing load of sin And Jesus comes on his blest mission To heal the sin-sick heart within, All grief must flee before his grace, And joy divine will take its place. 2 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 calm and joy within shall reign And hearts divided love again. 3 When Jesus enters land and nation And changes 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. 4 When Jesus comes—O blessed 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. Through sacrament and living Word Faith, love, and hope are now conferred. 5 Oh, may he soon to ev'ry nation Find entrance where he is unknown, With life and light and free salvation, That Satan's pow'r be overthrown, And healing to all hearts may come In heathen land and Christian home!
