Lyics

Of him whom did salvation bring,

I could for ever 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!

Though sin and sorrow wound my soul,

Jesus, thy balm can make it whole.



To shame our sin, he blush'd in blood,

He clos'd his eyes to show us God;

Let all the world fall down and know,

That none but God such love can 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.



Insatiate, to this spring I fly,

I drink, and yet am over dry,

Ah! who against thy charms is proof,

Ah! who that loves can love enough?
