Great Redeemer, Friend Of Sinners

Author: William Williams, 1717-1791; William Griffiths, 1777-1825 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12073 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Great Redeemer, friend of sinners, Thou hast wondrous power to save; Grant me grace, and still protect me, Over life’s tempestuous wave: May my soul with sacred transport, View the dawn while yet afar, And until the sun arises, Lead me by the morning star. 2 O! what madness! O! what folly, That my heart should go astray; After vain and foolish trifles, Trifles only of a day: This vain world with all its pleasures, Very soon will be no more; There’s no object worth admiring, But the God whom we adore. 3 See the happy spirits waiting, On the banks beyond the stream, Sweet responders still repeating, Jesus, Jesus is their theme: Hark! they whisper, lo! they call me, Sister spirit, come away; Lo! I come, earth can’t contain me, Hail the realms of endless day. 4 Swiftly roll, ye lingering hours, Seraphs, lend your glittering wings; Love absorbs my ransom powers, Heavenly song around me rings, Worlds of light and crowns of glory, Far above yon azure sky, Only now by faith I see you; Soon I hope to dwell on high.
