By Thy mer-its we find favor; Life is giv-en through Thy Name. A-MEN.

2 Paschal Lamb, by God appointed,
All our sins were on Thee laid;
By Almighty Love anointed,

Thou hast full atonement made:
All Thy people are forgiven
Through the virtue of Thy blood;
Opened is the gate of heaven,

Peace is made 'twixt man and God.

3 Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory,
There for ever to abide;

All the heavenly hosts adore Thee,
Seated at Thy Father's side:

There for sinners Thou art pleading;
There Thou dost our place prepare;
Ever for us interceding,

Till in glory we appear.

4 Worship, honor, power, and blessing
Thou art worthy to receive:
Loudest praises without ceasing,
Meet it is for us to give.
Help, ye bright angelic spirits,
Bring your sweetest, noblest lays;
Help to sing our Saviour's merits,
Help to chant Emmanuel's praise.

Rev. John Bakewell, 1757, enlarged by Rev. M. Madan, 1760: alt. by Rev. A. M. Toplady, 1776

1 Sav-iour, bless-ed Saviour, Lis- ten while we sing; Hearts and voi - ces rais - ing

With com-pas-sions ne - ver ceas-ing, Comes sal - va- tion to pro-claim. A-MEN.

Wake ev-ery heart and every tongue To praise the Saviour's Name. A-MEN.

2 Sing of His dying love;

Sing of His rising power;
Sing how He intercedes above
For those whose sins He bore.

3 Sing, till we feel our hearts

Ascending with our tongues; Sing, till the love of sin departs, And grace inspires our songs.

4 Sing on your heavenly way,
Ye ransomed sinners, sing;
Sing on rejoicing every day

In Christ the Eternal King.

5 Soon shall ye hear Him say,

"Ye blessed children, come;" Soon will He call you hence away, And take His wanderers home.

William Hammond, 1745: alt. by Rev. Geo. Whitefield, 1753, and Rev. Martin Madan, 1760
