Text: | The Lord first empties whom he fills |
Author: | Erskine |
Tune: | DENTON |
Composer: | E. Hamilton |
1 The Lord first empties whom he fills,
Casts down whom he would raise;
He quickens, when the letter kills,
Exalting thus his praise.
2 When he applies his healing blood
Unto a sin-sick soul,
This balsam, powerful, precious, good,
Ne'er fails to make it whole.
3 On us he spent his life and blood,
Our losses to retrieve;
Mankind's redemption now holds good
For sinner's who believe.
