325. Hail! my ever blessed Jesus

1 Hail! my ever blessed Jesus,
Only thee I wish to sing;
To my soul thy name is precious,
Thou my prophet, priest, and king.

2 O! what mercy flows from heaven,
O, what joy and happiness!
Love I much? I’m much forgiven,
I’m a miracle of grace.

3 Once with Adam’s race in ruin,
Unconcern'd in sin I lay;
Swift destruction still pursuing,
Till my Saviour pass'd this way.

4 Witness, all ye hosts of heaven,
My Redeemer’s tenderness;
Love I much? I’ve much forgiven,
I’m a miracle of grace.

5 Shout, ye bright angelic choir,
Praise the Lamb enthron'd above;
While, astonish'd, I admire
God’s free grace and boundless love.

6 That blest moment I receiv'd him,
Fill'd my soul with joy and peace;
Love I much? I’ve much forgiven,
I’m a miracle of grace.
