Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A gospel hymn based on Erdmann Neumeister's 1718 German poem 'Jesu nimmt die Sünder an,' translated by Emma Bevan in 1858. It proclaims Christ's unconditional welcome of sinners, drawing on Luke 15, with a reassuring refrain sung by James McGranahan's revival setting.
Verse 1
Sinners Jesus will receive:
Sound this word of grace to all
Who the heav'nly pathway leave,
All who linger, all who fall.

Sing it o'er.. and o'er again...
Christ receiv..eth sinful men...
Make the mes..sages clear and plain
Christ receiv...eth sinful me
Verse 2
Now my heart condemns me not,
Pure before the law I stand;
He who cleansed me from all spot
Satisfied its last demand.
Chorus
Sing it o'er.. and o'er again...
Christ receiv..eth sinful men...
Make the mes..sages clear and plain
Christ receiv...eth sinful me
Verse 3
Christ receiveth sinful men,
Even me with all my sin;
Purged from ev’ry spot and stain,
Heav’n with Him I enter in.
Chorus
Sing it o'er.. and o'er again...
Christ receiv..eth sinful men...
Make the mes..sages clear and plain
Christ receiv...eth sinful me
