21*. Oh! What a Savior Is Jesus the Lord

10s.
by A. Midlane
1
Oh! what a Savior is Jesus the Lord,
 
Well might His name by His saints be adored!
 
He has redeemed them from hell by His blood,
 
Saved them forever, and brought them to God.
2
Now in the glory He waits to impart
 
Peace to the conscience and joy to the heart — 
 
Waits to be gracious, to pardon and heal
 
All who their sin and their wretchedness feel.
3
Thousands have fled to His spear-piercèd side,
 
Welcome they all have been, none are denied;
 
Weary and laden, they all have been blest,
 
Joyfully now in the Savior they rest.
“All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” (John 6:37)
“Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)
“And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them.” (Revelation 14:13)
