9763. Come, Happy Souls, Approach Your God

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 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.

6 See, dearest Lord, our willing souls
Accept Thine offered grace;
We bless the great Redeemer’s love,
And give the Father praise.
