1 Oh, the Savior’s mighty hand can save
Every one!
‘Twas for all his precious blood he gave,
Every one;
Every one whose feet are falling,
‘Mid life’s dangers oft appalling,
Every one his voice is calling,
Every one, every one, every one.

2 Oh, we know his Spirit now is near
Every one!
And his tender love inviting here
Every one;
Every one, though long delaying,
Everyone though sadly straying,
Every on, though disobeying,
Every one, every one, every one.

3 Blessed Savior, help us now to come,
Every one!
Through the wilderness, oh, bring us home,
Every one;
Every one, to life eternal,
Every one to pastures vernal,
Every one to joys supernal,
Every one, every one, every one.

Root, George F., MUS. DOC, born in Sheffield, Berkshire County, Mass., Aug. 30, 1820. He is much more widely known as a composer of popular music than as a hymn writer. Four of his hymns are in I. D. Sankey's Sacred Songs & Solos, 1878. Nos. 16, 100, 293, and 297. A sympathetic biographical sketch, with portrait, is in The Tonic Sol-Fa Reporter, Sep. 1886. He died Aug. 6, 1895. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907)… Go to person page >
