114 You had been for ever wretched , Had I not espoused your part ; Now behold my arms outstretched To receive you to my heart.

4 &quot; Well may shame and joy and wonder All your inward passions move ; I could crush thee with my thunder, But I speak to thee in love : See ! your sins are all forgiven, I have paid the countless sum! Now my death has open d heaven, Thither you shall shortly come.&quot;

5 Dearest Saviour, we adore thee For thy precious life and death ; Melt each stubborn heart before thee, Give us all the eye of faith : From the law s condemning sentence, To thy mercy we appeal ; Thou alone canst give repentance, Thou alone our souls canst heal.

1 How lost was my condition Till Jesus made me whole ! There is but one Physician Can cure a sin-sick soul ! Next door to death he found me, And snatch d me from the grave To tell to all around me His wondrous power to save.

2 The worst of all diseases Is light compared with sin ; On every part it seizes, But rages most within : Tis palsy, dropsy, fever, And maoness all combined ; And none but a believer The least relief can find.
