LyicsJesus, thy blessings are not few,
Nor is thy Gospel weak;
Thy grace can melt the stubborn Jew,
And heal the dying Greek.
Wide as the reach of Satan's rage,
Does thy salvation flow;
It's not confined to sex or age,
The lofty or the low.
While grace is offer'd to the prince,
The poor may take their share;
No mortal has a just pretense,
To perish in dispair.
Come all ye wretched sinners come,
He'll form your souls a new;
His gospel and his heart have room,
For rebels such as you.
His doctrine is almighty love;
There's virtue in his name
To make you harmless as a dove,
And patient as a Lamb.
O could we raise a song of praise,
Half equal to his love,
The heav'ns would ring while we should sing
Through all the courts above.
