XI. The Saviour's Merit

1 Saviour, I do feel thy merit,
Sprinkled with redeeming blood,
And my weary troubled spirit,
Now finds rest with thee, my God.
I am safe, and I am happy,
While in thy dear arms I lie;
Sin and satan cannot hurt me,
While my Saviour is so nigh.
Glory, glory, glory, glory glory be to God on high!
Glory, glory, glory, glory, sing his praises thro' the sky!
Glory, glory, glory, glory, glory to the Father give!
Glory, glory, glory, glory, sing his praises all who live.

2 Now I'll sing my Saviour's merit,
Tell the world of his dear name,
That if any want his Spirit,
Christ is still, to all, the same:
He that asketh, soon receiveth;
He that seeks is sure to find;
Whosoe'er on him believeth,
He will never cast behind.
Glory, glory, glory, glory glorious Christ of heav'nly birth!
Glory, glory, glory, glory, sing his praises thro' the earth!
Glory, glory, glory, glory, glory to the spirit be!
Glory, glory, glory, glory, glory to the sacred Three!

3 Now our Advocate is pleading,
With his Father and our God;
Now for us he's interceeding,
As the purchase of his blood.
Hark! methinks I hear him praying—
Father save them, I have dy'd;
And the Father, answers, saying,
They are freely justify'd.
Worthy, worthy, worthy, worthy, worthy is the Lamb of God!
Worthy, worthy, worthy, worthy, who hath wash'd us in his blood!
Holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts!
Holy, holy, holy, holy, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!
