Author: Isaac Watts [More Titles by Watts]

None excluded from hope, Rom. 1. 16. 1 Cor. 1. 24.

Jesus, thy blessings are not few,
Nor is thy gospel weak;
Thy grace can melt the stubborn Jew,
And bow th' aspiring Greek.

Wide as the reach of Satan's rage
Doth thy salvation flow;
'Tis not confin'd to sex or age,
The lofty or the low.

While grace is offer'd to the prince,
The poor may take their share;
No mortal has a just pretence
To perish in despair.

Be wise, ye men of strength and wit,
Nor boast your native powers;
But to his sovereign grace submit,
And glory shall be yours.

Come, all ye vilest sinners come,
He'll form your souls anew:
His gospel and his heart have room
For rebels such as you.

His doctrine is almighty love;
There's virtue in his Name
To turn the raven to a dove,
The lion to a lamb.

[The end]
