Jesus has shed his vital blood,
To bring my wand'ring soul to God:
And still, to manifest his love,
He lives, and pleads for me above.
“Father I will,” the Saviour cries,
“That this poor soul at length may rise
From all the depths of sin and woe,
The riches of my grace to know.”
Now let his sins be all forgiven,
And guide him in the path to heaven;
I have redeemed his soul from hell;
With me he shall for ever dwell.
To save his life, thy Son was slain,
He is the purchase of my pain:
I claim my right and urge my plea,
That he may reign in bliss with me.
He shall behold me face to face,
And dwell in this celestial place,
Far from the reach of foes and fears;
My love shall wipe away his tears.
His pains and toils shall have an end;
His happy soul to God ascend;
Soon shall he reach the peaceful shore,
Where sin shall wound his heart no more.
Father, I will, that he should prove
The wonders of redeeming love,
That he may all my glories see,
And sit upon the throne with me.
