Where'er I am, where'er I move, I meet the object of my love. 5 Insatiate to this spring I fly; I drink, and yet am ever dry; Ah! who against thy charms is proof? Ah! who that loves can love enough?

Through him from the great Father's throne, Rivers of bliss come rolling down, And endless peace and life are giv'n. 3 No more the awful cherubs guard The tree of life with flaming sword, To drive afar man's trembling race. At Salem's pearly gates they stand, And smiling wait, a friendly band, To welcome strangers to the place. 4 While we expect that glorious sight, Love shall our hearts with theirs unite, And ardent hope our bosoms raise. From earth's low cottages of clay, To those resplendent realms of day. We'll try to send the sounding praise.

Every grace and every favour Comes to us through Jesus' blood. 2 Jesus gives us true repentance, By his Spirit sent from heaven; Whispers this transporting sentence, "Son, thy sins are now forgiven." Faith he grants us to believe it, Grateful hearts his love to prize; Want we wisdom? he must give it; Hearing ears, and seeing eyes. 3 Jesus gives us pure affections, Wills to do what he requires; Makes us follow his directions, And what he commands--inspires. All our prayers, and all our praises, Rightly offer'd in his name, He that dictates them is Jesus; He that answers is the same.

O God, to whom in flesh reveal'd

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #308 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 O God, to whom in flesh reveal'd The helpless all for succour came; The sick to be reliev'd and heal'd, And found salvation in thy name. 2 With publicans and harlots I, In these thy Spirit's gospel days, To thee, the sinner's friend, draw nigh, And humbly sue for saving grace. 3 Thou seest me helpless and distressed, Feeble, and faint, and blind, and poor; Weary I come to thee for rest, And sick of sin implore a cure. 4 My sin's incurable disease, Thou, Jesus, thou alone canst heal; Inspire me with thy power and peace, And pardon on my conscience seal. 5 A touch, a word, a look from thee, Can turn my heart and make it clean; Purge the foul inbred leprosy, And save me from my bosom-sin. 6 Lord, if thou wilt, I do believe, Thou canst the saving grace impart; Thou canst this instant now forgive, And stamp thine image on my heart. 7 My heart, which now to thee I raise, I know thou canst this moment cleanse; The deepest stains of sin efface, And drive the evil spirit hence. 8 Be it according to thy word! Accomplish now thy work in me; And let my soul, to health restor'd, Devote its little all to thee!

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #309 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 What mean these jealousies and fears? As if the Lord was loath to save, Or lov'd to see us drench'd in tears, Or sink with sorrow to the grave. 2 Does he want slaves to grace his throne? Or rules he by an iron rod? Loves he the deep despairing groan? Is he a tyrant, or a God? 3 Not all the sins which we have wrought, So much his tender bowels grieve, As this unkind injurious thought, That he's unwilling to forgive. 4 What though our crimes are black as night, Or glowing like the crimson morn, Immanuel's blood will make them white As now through the pure ether borne. 5 Lord, 'tis amazing grace we own, And well may rebel worms surprise; But, was not thy incarnate Son A most amazing sacrifice? 6 "I've found a ransom," saith the Lord, "No humble penitent shall die?" Lord, we would now believe thy word, And thy unbounded mercies try!

I hear, I feel he died for me. 5 O unexampled love! O all-redeeming grace! How swiftly didst thou move To save a fallen race. What shall I do to make it known, What thou for all mankind hast done? 6 O for a trumpet voice, On all the world to call; To bid their hearts rejoice In him who died for all! For all my Lord was crucified! For all, for all my Saviour died. 7 To serve thy blessed will, Thy dying love to praise, Thy counsel to fulfil, And minister thy grace, Freely what I receive to give, The life of heaven on earth I live.

O may our grateful hearts adore The matchless grace; nor yield to sin, Nor wear its cruel fetters more! Scripture: 1 Peter 1:18
