Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 170 hymnals First Line: Come, happy souls, approach your God Lyrics: 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
The pitied the accursed,
The Father sent his equal Son
To give them second birth.
3. Your 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. Topics: Lent Scripture: John 3:1-17 Used With Tune: HARINGTON
