Hymns for the Use of Families, 4

To— " All ye that pass by"
O Saviour of all,
Attend to our call,
And awaken our souls, and redeem from their fall:
Our apostasy known
In part we bemoan,
And for pardon, oppress'd, and for liberty groan.
Love moved Thee to die;

And on this we rely,
Thou art able, O God, Thy own blood to apply;
Thou canst, if Thou wilt:

And it surely was spilt
To redeem us from sin, both the power and the guilt.
Ever able to cleanse,
And remove it from hence,
Our original guilt, with our actual offence;
Ever willing Thou art
Thy peace to impart,
And make Thy abode in a penitent heart.
Come then from above
In the Spirit of love,
And the mountain of sin by Thy coming remove:
Thee present below
By faith when we know,
The mountain of sin in a moment shall How!

We wait the glad hour,
Convinced of Thy power
To forgive us our sins, and our souls to restore:
We have faith to be heal'd;
And when Thou art reveal'd,
Our salvation is sure, and our pardon is seal'd.
