John 12:1: Life to a soul if Jesus give
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
Life to a soul if Jesus give
He will not then neglect and leave
His Lazarus restored,
But visits and confirms the grace,
The tender hfe of righteousness,
And feeds him with the word.
The sinner saved is Jesu's guest,
(Whose presence makes the' angeUc feast.
Whose glory fills the skies,)
He banquets on redeeming love.
Nor envies those he left above,
The saints in paradise.
