Jesus: More Full of Grace Than I of Sin

From Charles Wesley's hymn, Weary of Wandering from My God:
O Jesus, full of truth and grace

More full of grace than I of sin
Yet once again I seek Thy face:
Open Thine arms and take me in
And freely my backslidings heal
And love the faithless sinner still.

Cited by Sinclair Ferguson in an excellent three-part sermon series on the Prodigal Son.

Update: As pointed out in the comments below, David Ward has done a beautiful modernization of this hymn.
