“Come Every Gracious Heart that Loves the Saviour's Name”


 
A Hymn Written by S. Stennett

(1)

Come, every gracious heart
      That loves the Saviour's name,
Your noblest powers exert
      To celebrate His fame;
Tell all who fear the Lord below
The debt of love to Him you owe.

(2)

He left His starry crown,
      And laid His robes aside;
On wings of love came down,
      And wept, and bled, and died:
What He endured no tongue can tell
To save our souls from death and hell.

(3)

From the dark grave He rose,
      The mansion of the dead;
And thence His mighty foes
      In glorious triumph led;
Up through the sky the Conq'ror rode,
And reigns on high, the Saviour God.

(4)

From thence He'll quickly come,
      His chariot will not stay,
And bear our spirits home
      To realm of endless day:
There shall we see His lovely face,
And ever live in His embrace.
