Lyics

THE Saviour! O, what endless charms

Dwell in the blissful sound!

Its influence ev'ry fear disarms,

And spreads sweet comfort round.



Here pardon, life, and joys divine,

In rich effusion flow,

For guilty rebels lost in sin,

And doom'd to endless wo.



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 cannot wish for more.



On thee alone my hope relies,

Beneath thy cross I fall;

My Lord, my life, my sacrifice,

My Saviour and my all.
