Ye saints, assist me in my song—
Let all your passions move;
To. Jesus all the notes belong—
I sing redeeming love.
Opposing spirits 'gainst his cross,
Their force united prove;
But quit the field with mighty loss
Crush'd by redeeming love.
Around the circle of his friends
His tender passions move;
And while he liv'd his constant theme
Was still redeeming love.
Gently he rais'd his sacred hands.
Before his last remove:
And the last whispers of his tongue,
Sigh'd forth redeeming love.
Thro' life's wide waste, with weary feet,
In darkness I may rove;
But never can my heart forget
Redeeming, dying love.
Oh, that before his sacred throne,
I all its sweets may prove;
Still as my pleasures rise, my song
Shall be redeeming love.
