Hymn 46 — Jesus is a glorious Saviour,
| 46 | J. T. ELLIS | 8.7.8.7. |
| 1 |
Jesus is a glorious Saviour, Theme of heav'ns eternal song; Peace He offers thee, and pardon. Wilt thou now to Him belong? | |
| 2 |
Is Thy heart oppressed with sorrow In the world where death is rife? One who knows and understands thee, Bids thee come -- in Him is life. | |
| 3 |
He would turn Thee from sin's pleasures, Where no lasting joy is found; Set before thee hidden treasures, Grace that would to thee abound. | |
| 4 |
Ere thy heart commenced its beating, Or thine eyes beheld the light, Love divine for men was planning Happiness in glory bright. | |
| 5 |
Even though thy sins condemn thee, Graver still thy sinful state; He who knows it died to save thee, Bore sin's load in all its weight. | |
| 6 |
Now He lives a Man in heaven, Glory-crowned at God's right hand, Waiting now to save and bless thee, Wide outstretched His gracious hand. | |
