154. Hail! my ever blessèd Jesus

1 Hail! my ever blessèd Jesus,
Only Thee I wish to sing;
To my soul Thy name is precious,
Thou my Prophet, Priest, and King.
Oh, what mercy flows from heaven,
Oh, what joy and happiness!
Love I much? I’m much forgiven;
I’m a miracle of grace.

2 Once with Adam’s race in ruin,
Unconcern'd in sin I lay;
Swift destruction still pursuing,
Till my Saviour pass'd this way.
Witness, all ye hosts of heaven,
My Redeemer’s tenderness;
Love I much? I’m much forgiven;
I’m a miracle of grace.

3 Sing, ye bright angelic choir,
Praise the Lamb enthroned above;
Whilst astonish'd, I admire
God’s free grace and boundless love.
That blest moment I received Him,
Fill'd my soul with joy and peace;
Love I much? I’ve much forgiven;
I’m a miracle of grace.
