Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs ‎#CCIX

CCIX. Forgiver of Sin

1 What saving pow'r, what grace divine,
To Jesus doth belong;
Jesus the most delightful theme
Of each believer's song

2 'Tis the divine prerogative
Of him, whom we adore:
Pardon and endless life to give,
To souls condemn'd before.

3 His miracles, his pow'r proclaim;
His grace in them exprest,
Invites the weak and helpless soul
Beneath his care to rest.

4 "Be of good cheer," the Saviour cries,
"Behold thy sins forgiv'n;"
And strait the pardon ratifies,
And seals our peace with heav'n.

5 Sinners with pleasing wonder hear
Salvation's joyful sound;
While hope, and love, their breast inspire,
His praises they resound.
