XC. The name of Christ, most sweet

1 That name to me sounds ever sweet,
Where grace and truth doth always meet,
Where right'ousness doth peace embrace,
And opens wide a store of grace.

2 A meeting place it is indeed,
Where mercy meets the sinner's need,
And opens wide a gracious store,
Sufficient to relieve the poor.

3 Hark! don't you hear the heav'nly call,
It soundeth loud, it is to all--
To high and low, to bond and free,
That none may say," tis not for me."

4 "Ho! ev'ry one that thirsts (he cries)
"Here's wine and milk, and large supplies;
"Come now to me and drink your fill,
"'Tis free for whosoever will.

5 "Come now receive, I ask no pay,
"But freely give it all away,
To all that do my word believe,
And freely now my grace receive."
