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,
“And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” (John 14:3)
“Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.” (1 Peter 2:24)
Then endless praise our lips shall move,
And joy our spirits fill;
The objects of His love divine,
Oh who that joy can tell?
“Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.” (Psalm 16:11)
