279. Come, Saints, Your Grateful Voices Raise
C.M.
by R. Burnham
Come, saints, your grateful voices raise,
For grace’s boundless store;
Dwell on the Lamb’s unchanging love,
“And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.” (John 1:16)
“For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)” (Romans 5:17)
“And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.” (2 Corinthians 9:8)
His mercy who our ransom paid,
And all our sorrows bore,
Sing with a note of loftiest joy,
“Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.” (1 Timothy 2:6)
“Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.” (Isaiah 53:4)
Soon the redeeming Lord shall come
For us whose sins He bore,
To see the glories of the Lamb,
Then endless praise our lips shall move,
And joy our spirits fill;
The objects of His love divine,
Oh who that joy can tell?
