454. Of Him Who Did Salvation Bring

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

2 Ask but his grace, and lo, ’tis giv’n;
Ask, and he turns your hell to heaven:
Though sin and sorrow wound my soul,
Jesus, thy balm will make it whole.

3 To shame our sins he blushed in blood;
He closed 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 ye am ever dry:
Ah! who against thy charms is proof?
Ah! who that loves, can love enough?
