Lyics

The Saviour! O what endless charms

Dwell in the blissful sound!

Its influence ev'ry fear disarms,

And spreads sweet peace around.



Here pardon, life, and joys divine,

In rich profusion flow;

For guilty revels, 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 can not 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.
