JESUS, thou all-redeeming Lord,By A Collection of Hymns C.M. 1 JESUS, thou all-redeeming Lord, Thy blessing we implore, Open the door to preach thy word, The great effectual door.
2 Gather the outcasts in, and save From sin and Satan's power; And let them now acceptance have, And know their gracious hour. 3 Lover of souls! thou know'st to prize What thou hast bought so dear; Come then, and in thy people's eyes With all thy wounds appear. 4 Appear, as when of old confest The suffering Son of God; And let them see thee in thy vest But newly dipt in blood. 5 The hardness from their hearts remove, Thou who for all hast died; Show them the tokens of thy love, Thy feet, thy hands, thy side. 6 Thy feet were nailed to yonder tree, To trample down their sin; Thy hands stretched out they all may see, To take thy murderers in. 7 Thy side an open fountain is, Where all may freely go, And drink the living streams of bliss, And wash them white as snow. 8 Ready thou art the blood to apply, And prove the record true; And all thy wounds to sinners cry, "I suffered this for you!"
