LyicsTHE Saviour! O what endless charms
Dwell in the blissful sound!
Its influence every fear disarms,
And spreads sweet peace around.
Here pardon, life, and joys divine
In rich profusion flow,
For guilty rebels, lost in sin,
And doomed to endless woe.
Th' almighty Former of the skies
Stooped to our vile abode,
While angels viewed with wondering eyes,
And hailed th' incarnate God.
O the rich depths of love divine;
Of bliss, a boundless store!
Blest Saviour, let me call thee mine;
I can not wish for more.
