Lyics

Of 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;

Though sin and sorrow wound my soul,

Jesus, thy balm 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 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 ever dry,

Ah!  Who against thy charms is proof,

Ah!  Who that loves can love enough.
