COME, humble souls, approach your God With songs of sacred praise, For He is good, immensely good, And kind are all His ways. |
|||
2 | All nature owns His guardian care, In Him we live and move; But nobler benefits declare The wonders of His love. |
||
3 | He gave His Son, His only Son, To ransom rebel worms; ’Tis here He makes His goodness known In its diviner forms. |
||
4 | To this dear refuge, Lord, we come; ’Tis here our hope relies: A safe defence, a peaceful home, When storms of trouble rise. |
||
5 | Thine eye beholds with kind regard The souls that trust in Thee; Their humble hope Thou wilt reward With bliss divinely free. |
||
6 | Great God, to Thine almighty love, What honours shall we raise? Not all the raptured songs above Can render equal praise. |

Anne Steele, 1717-78 |
