Lyics

THE 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 doom'd to endless woe.



Th' almighty Former of the skies

Stoop'd to our vile abode;

While angels view'd with wond'ring eyes,

And hail'd 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.
