The Saviour's love will ne'er grow faint

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Luke 14:1-11 Lyrics: 1 The Saviour's love will ne'er grow faint, Toward the sons of men; His gracious ear hears their complaints, Their cries are not in vain. 2 He prov'd himself the sovereign Lord, And gave the world to know: What wonders his commanding word; In ev'ry case can do. 3 He pitied man, that helpless worm, Thus lying in his blood; What acts of love does he perform, To make him know his God. 4 The helpless, needy and the poor, Alike receiv'd his aid; And all were made to know his pow'r, Who his commands obey'd. 5 Wht would my Saviour do for me, If I would state my case; Could I expect that I would be An object of his grace? 6 How many would be my complaints, Could I but know in part; My chief diseases and my wants, And evils of my heart. 7 At all events I will presume, To venture near his throne; Since Jesus bids all sinners come And learn what he has done.
