Hosanna was sung to David, we hear; But soon he was forced into Adullam’s cave, And thousands pursued him his life to bereave. 3 To Adullam’s cave the wretched all run; Which David must have, their captain become; And thus he is furnished with men, to be sure, But, O be astonished! they’re helpless and poor.] 4 In David I see a greater by far; ’Tis Jesus, ’tis he who saves from despair; No sinner dejected that flees to the Lamb, Shall e’er be neglected, for David’s his name.

Where must a sinner fly

Author: Berridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #146 (1844) Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ Lyrics: 1 Where must a sinner fly, Who feels his guilty load, And stands condemned to die, Out of the mouth of God? Can any door of hope be found? Not any sure, on nature’s ground. 2 What if he mend his life, And pour out floods of tears, And pray with fervent strife? These pay no past arrears. The law, with unrelenting breath, Declares the wage of sin is death. 3 [Who then shall reconcile Such jarring things as these? Say, how can Justice smile At Mercy on her knees? Or how can Mercy lift her head, Till all the legal debt is paid?] 4 Jesus, thy helping hand Has made the contest cease, Paid off each law demand, And bought the blest release; Stern Justice, satisfied by thee, Bids Mercy bring the news to me. 5 O tidings sweet of grace, To sinners lost and poor, Who humbly seek thy face, And knock at Mercy’s door; Who taste the peace thy blood imparts, And feel the Saviour in their hearts. 6 All hail! we bless thee now! Who bought us with thy blood! Our gracious Shepherd thou, To bring us home to God. On earth we sing thy bleeding love, And long to see thy face above. Languages: English
