Willing both in hand and heart, Every law of love fulfilling. Every comfort to impart: Ever bringing offerings meet, Suppliants at thy mercy-seat. 5 Then shall sickness, sin, and sadness To thy healing power yield; Till the sick and sad in gladness, Rescued, ransomed, cleansed, healed, Shall the saints together meet, Pardoned at thy judgment seat!
