BID ME SIN NO MORE, by CHARLES WESLEY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Jesus, friend of sinners, hear Last Line: And bid me sin no more. Subject(s): Jesus Christ | ||||||||
Jesus, Friend of sinners, hear Yet once again, I pray; From my debt of sin set clear, For I have naught to pay: Speak, O speak the kind release; A poor backsliding soul restore; Love me freely, seal my peace, And bid me sin no more. For my selfishness and pride Thou hast withdrawn Thy grace; Left me long to wander wide, An outcast from Thy face; But I now my sins confess, And mercy, mercy, I implore; Love me freely, seal my peace, And bid me sin no more. Sin's deceitfulness hath spread A hardness o'er my heart; But if Thou Thy Spirit shed, The stony shall depart: Shed Thy love, Thy tenderness, And let me feel Thy soft'ning power; Love me freely, seal my peace, And bid me sin no more. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE GREEN CHRIST by ANDREW HUDGINS MEDITATION ON SAVIORS by ROBINSON JEFFERS COMPANIONSHIP by MALTBIE DAVENPORT BABCOCK TO A WREN ON CALVARY by LARRY LEVIS THE TRANSFIGURATION by EDWIN MUIR SOUNDS OF THE RESURRECTED DEAD MAN'S FOOTSTEPS (#3): 1.
