345. Of him who did salvation bring

1 Of him who did salvation bring
I could forever think and sing;
Arise, ye guilty, he'll forgive;
Arise, ye needy, he'll relieve.

2 Ask but his grace, and lo, ’tis given,
Ask, and he turns your hell to heaven;
Tho' sin and sorrow wound my soul,
Jesus, thy balm will make it whole,

3 to shame our sins he blush'd in blood,
He clos'd his eyes to show us God;
Let all the world fall down and know,
That none but God such love can show.

4 'Tis thee I love, for thee alone
I shed my tears and make my moan!
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?
