Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.CIII (1766) Topics: Christ His Commission Lyrics: 1 Come, happy Souls, approach your God.
With new melodious Songs;
Come, tender to almighty Grace
The Tribute of your Tongues.
2 So strange, so boundless was the Love,
That pity'd dying Men,
The Father sent his equal Son
To give them Life again.
3 Thy Hands, dear Jesus, were not arme'd
With a revenging Rod;
No hard Commission to perform
The Vengeance of a God.
4 But all was Mercy, all was mild,
And Wrath forsook the Throne;
When Christ on the kind Errand came,
And brought Salvation down.
5 Here, Sinners, you may heal your Wounds,
And wipe your Sorrows dry;
Trust in the mighty Saviour's Name,
And you shall never die.
6 See, dearest Lord, our willing Souls
Accept thine offer'd Grace;
We bless the great Redeemer's Love,
And give the Father Praise. Languages: English
Come, happy Souls, approach your God
