God ready to forgive; or, Despair sinful

Author: Stogdon Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #XC (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: What mean these jealousies and fears Lyrics: 1 What mean these jealousies and fears, As if the Lord were loth to save, Or lov'd to see us drench'd in tears, Or sink with sorrow to the grave? 2 Does he want slaves to grace his throne? Or crush them with an iron rod? Loves he the deep despairing groan? Is he a tyrant, or a God. 3 Not all the sins which we have wrought So much his tender bowels grieve, As this unkind injurious thought, That he's unwilling to forgive. 4 What tho' our crimes are black as night, Or glowing like the crimson morn, Immanuel's blood will make them white As snow thro' the pure aether borne. 5 Lord, 'tis amazing grace we won, And well may rebel-worms surprise, But was not thy incarnate son A most amazing sacrifice? 6 "I've found a ransom," saith the lord, "No humble penitent shall die;" Lord, we would now believe thy word, And thy unbounded mercies try!
