LIX. Calling to follow Christ

1 Come my Father's Family,
Ye Ransom'd of the Lord,
Come, ye Sinners who with me,
Are ev'ry where abhorr'd;
Let us gladly trace his Steps,
Who suffer'd Death among the Jews;
Who the friendless Soul accepts,
Whom all beside refuse.

2 Jesus, the Dispis'd and Mean,
Our Master let us own,
He the Sacrifice for Sin,
The Saviour, he alone;
Let us take and bear his Cross,
Despis'd Disciples let us be,
Mock'd and slighted as he was,
For you, my Friend, and me.

3 None but Jesus will we sing,
None else will we adore;
He our Prophet, Priest, and King
Shall be for evermore;
None among the heavenly Powers,
Nor one on Earth our Praise can claim,
None bu Jesus call we ours,
None but the bleeding Lamb.
