LyicsGlory to Jesus! For his love,
Flowing to ev'ry nation,
Bowels of sweet compassion move,
Offering free salvation.
Here may the poor, the lame, the blind,
Every needed blessing find:
Justice and mercy here combine,
Offering free salvation.
Sinners, repair to Jesus' arms;
Why will you slight his favour?
Now he invites you to his charms,
Willing to be your Saviour.
O that you would on him believe!
All your transgressions he'll forgive;
Comfort and peace shall you receive,
Flowing from Christ for ever.
Now is the time: no more delay -
Fly from the path of nature:
Fear not what scoffing sinners say -
Yield to your great Creator.
So shall your dying souls obtain
Freedom from all your guilt and pain;
So shall you soon in glory reign,
Praising your great Creator.
Then shall the heavenly arches ring
"Glory to God our Saviour!"
Angels and saints shall join to sing
Praises for all his favour:
Then shall the theme of perfect love,
Sounding through all the courts above,
Every tuneful passion move,
Praising the Lord for ever.
