LyicsPOOR sinful souls approach this God,
And learn to sing his praise;
For his is good, immensely good,
And kind in all his ways.
All nature owns his guardian care,
In him we live and move;
But nobler benefits declare
The wonders of his love.
He gave his Son-his only Son,
To ransom rebel worms,
'Tis here he makes his goodness known
In its diviner forms.
To this blest refuge sinners come;
'Tis here their hope relies;
A safe defence, a peaceful home,
When storms of trouble rise.
