29. We Come to Thee, Sweet Saviour

We come to Thee, sweet Saviour!
Just because we need Thee so:
None need Thee more than we do;
Nor are half so vile or low.
O bountiful salvation!
O life eternal won!
O plentiful redemption!
O Blood of Mary's Son!

We come to Thee, sweet Saviour!
None will have us. Lord! but Thee;
And we want none but Jesus,
And His grace that makes us free.
O bountiful salvation!
O life eternal won!
O plentilul redemption!
O Blood of IVFary's Son!

We come to Thee, sweet Saviour!
For our sins are worse than ever;
Dear Shepherd of the outcast;
But Thy patience wearies never.
O bountiful salvation!
O life eternal won!
O plentiful redemption!
O Blood of Mary's Son!

We come to Thee, sweet Saviour!
With our broken faith again!
We know Thou wilt forgive us,
Nor upbraid us, nor complain.
O bountiful salvation!
O life eternal won!
O plentiful redemption!
O Blood of Mary's Son!

We come to Thee, sweet Saviour!
It is love that makes us come:
We are certain of our welcome,
Of our Father's welcome home.
O bountiful salvation!
O life eternal won!
O plentiful redemption!
O Blood of Mary's Son!

We rome to Thee, sweet Saviour 1
Fear brings us in our need;
For Thy hand never breaketh,
Not the frailest bruised reed.
O bountiful salvation!
O life eternal won!
O plentiful redemption!
O Blood of Mary's Son I

We come to Thee, sweet Saviour!
For to whom, Lord! can we go?
The words of life eternal
From Thy lips for ever flow.
O bountiful salv^ation!
O life eternal won!
O plentiful redemption!
O Blood of Mary's Son!

We come to Thee, sweet Saviour!
We have tried Thee oft before;
But now yjM come more wholly,.
With the heart to love Thee more.
O bountiful salvation!
O life eternal won!
O plentiful redemption!
O Blood of Mary's Son!

We come to Thee, sweet Saviour!
^Tis in answer to Thy call,
Dear Hope of the unworthy!
Dearest Merit of us all!
O bountiful salvation!
O life eternal won!
O plentiful redemption!
O Blood of Mary's Son I

We come to Thee, sweet Saviour!
And Thou wilt not ask us why:
We cannot live without Thee,
And still less without Thee die.
O bountiful salvation!
O life eternal won!
O plentiful redemption!
O Blood of Mary's Son!
