Lyics

SAVIOUR! Thy gentle voice

Gladly we hear;

Author of all our joys,

Be ever near;

Our souls would cling to Thee;

Let us Thy fullness see,

Our life to cheer.



Fountain of life divine!

Thee we adore;

We would be wholly Thine

For evermore;

Freely forgive our sin,

Grant heav'nly peace within,

Thy light restore.



Though to our faith unseen,

While darkness reigns,

On Thee alone we lean

While life remains;

By Thy free grace restor'd,

Our souls shall bless the Lord

In joyful strains!
