Text: | Come, Happy Souls, Approach Your God |
Author: | Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 |
Tune: | ST. PETER |
Composer: | Alexander R. Reinagle, 1799-1877 |
1 Come, happy souls, approach your God
With new melodious songs;
Come, render to Almighty grace
The tribute of your tongues.
2 So strange, so boundless was the love
That pitied dying men,
The Father sent His equal Son
To give them life again.
3 Thy hands, dear Jesus, were not armed
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 Savior’s name,
And you shall never die.
