66

Yes, He, the one, the Saviour Lord,
Who owns the world:—and all its woes
Are present to his pitying eyes,
Who felt them, died the death, then rose.

He died for all, for us he died,
To ransom our immortal souls,
That we might in His bliss reside
Who doth the heaven of heavens control.

Now, with compassion's voice, he calls
Us to approach his throne of love;
Pardon and righteousness he gives
With the eternal, holy dove.

Let us attend his gracious call,
His grace with melting hearts receive;
On his kind arms of mercy fall,
And in a Saviour's love believe;

In meek, submissive trust recline
Low at the great Redeemer's feet;
Our life, our all,—the world resign,
And wait the pardoning promise sweet.

Then, though life's current cease to flow,
He life and peace eternal gives;
While with transporting joys we know
That our Divine Redeemer lives.
