Hymn 103

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 169 hymnals Scripture: John 3:16-17 First Line: Come, happy souls, approach your God Lyrics: Come, happy souls, approach your God With new melodious songs; Come, tender to almighty grace The tribute of your tongues. So strange, so boundless was the love That pitied dying men, The Father sent his equal Son To give them life again. Thy hands, dear Jesus, were not armed With a revenging rod, No hard commission to perform The vengeance of a God. But all was mercy, all was mild, And wrath forsook the throne, When Christ on the kind errand came, And brought salvation down. Here, sinners, you may heal your wounds, And wipe your sorrows dry; Trust in the mighty Savior's name, And you shall never die. See, dearest Lord, our willing souls Accept thine offered grace; We bless the great Redeemer's love, And give the Father praise.

For God gave up his Son to death, so gen’rous was his love, That all the faithful might enjoy eternal life above. Not to condemn the sons of men the Son of God appeared; No weapons in his hand are seen, nor voice of terror heard: He came to raise our fallen state, and our lost hopes restore: Faith leads us to the mercy-seat, and bids us fear no more. But vengeance just for ever lies on all the rebel race, Who God’s eternal Son despise and scorn his offered grace.
