LyicsOf him who did salvation bring,
I Could forever think and sing-
Arise ye guilty, he'll forgive;
Arise ye needy, he'll relieve.
Ask but his grace, and lo! tis giv'n;
Ask, and he turns your hell to heav'n-
Tho' sin and sorrow wound my soul,
Thy grace, dear Lord, can make it whole.
To shame our sins, he blush'd in blood;
He clos'd his eyes to show us God;
Let all the world fall down and know,
That not but Christ such love could show.
'Tis thee I love, for thee alone
I shed my tears, and make my moan,
Where'er I am , where'er I move,
I meet the object of my love.
Still thirsty, to this spring I fly,
I drink, and yet am ever dry-
Ah! who against thy charms is proof?
Ah! who that loves can love enough?
