Though Your Sins Be as Scarlet Lyrics
1 Though your sins be as scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though your sins be as scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they be red like crimson,
They shall be as wool;
Though your sins be as scarlet,
Though your sins be as scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow,
They shall be as white as snow.
2 Hear the voice that entreats you,
O return ye unto God!
Hear the voice that entreats you,
O return ye unto God!
He is of great compassion,
And of wondrous love;
Hear the voice that entreats you,
Hear the voice that entreats you,
O return ye unto God!
O return ye unto God!
3 He’ll forgive your transgressions,
And remember them no more;
He’ll forgive your transgressions,
And remember them no more;
“Look unto Me, ye people,”
Saith the Lord your God;
He’ll forgive your transgressions,
He’ll forgive your transgressions,
And remember them no more,
And remember them no more.
Though Your Sins Be as Scarlet Hymn Story
“Though Your Sins Be as Scarlet” is a hymn that was written by Fanny Crosby.
Below is a story from George Stebbins on this song:
“To a service in the Collegiate church came a young lady from the West, who was visiting relatives in the city. She had heard of the fame of the evangelist and was desirous of hearing him speak.
Mrs. Stebbins and I sang hymn, “Though Your Sins Be As Scarlet,” which arrested her attention, she being a singer herself.
But as she was not a Christian, the hymn did more than attract her attention.
The truth went as an arrow to her heart and conscience and so disturbed her that she hurried away from the meeting as soon as it was out, with the determination not to attend another.
The truth, winged by the sweet melody, became so fixed in her mind that she could get no relief, and, instead of being able to keep her resolution, she found herself at the next service, intensely interested in the message of Mr. Moody.
Still unhappy and resentful, yet unable to keep away from the meetings, she finally gave up the fight and yielded herself to God’s claims upon her.
Some time after returning to her home, she became a student at the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, where I had the pleasure of meeting her during the World’s Fair evangelistic campaign which Mr. Moody conducted during the six months of the Fair and during which time she sang with me on occasions.
The happy sequel to this story is that she married one of the students of the Institute and went to the foreign field with him, where they have been for many years in mission
service.
