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
Doth thy salvation flow;
'T is not confine to sex nor age,
The lofty nor the low.
While grace is offered to the prince,
The poor may take his share;
No mortal has a just pretense
To perish in despair.
Come, all ye wretched sinners, come,
He'll form your souls anew;
His gospel and his heart have room
For rebels such as you.
His doctrine is almighty love;
There's virtue in his name
To turn the raven to a dove,
The lion to a lamb.
