Blessed Jesus, loving Saviour! Tender, faithful, strong, and true, Break the fetters that have bound us, Make us in Thyself anew. Now, at last, the Light appeareth, Jesus stands upon the shore; And with tender voice He calleth, "Come to Me, and sin no more!" 3 Nothing have we but our weakness, Nought but sorrow, sin, and care; All within is loathsome vileness, All without is dark despair. 3 The Lord is strong to save us, He is a faithful Friend: Trust on! trust on! believer, Oh, trust Him to the end! 331 SOON shall we see the glorious morn- Sinners, attend the notes of warning! 2 Hear ye the trump of God resoundSaints, arise! saints, arise!
