From sin impatient to be free : Call home, call home thy banish'd ones ! Lead captive their captivity ! 3 Show them the blood that bought their peace, The anchor of their steadfast hope ; And bid their guilty terrors cease, And bring the ransom'd prisoners up. 4 Out of the deep regard their cries, The fallen raise, the mourners cheer ; O Sun of Righteousness, arise, And scatter all their doubt and fear ! 5 Pity the day of feeble things ; O gather every halting soul ! And drop salvation from thy wings, And make the contrite sinner whole. 4o2 For Believers Interceding. 6 Stand by them in the fiery hour, Their feebleness of mind defend ; And in their weakness show thy power, And make them patient to the end. 7 O satisfy their soul in drought ! Give them thy saving health to see ; And let thy mercy find them out ; And let thy mercy reach to me. 8 Hast thou the work of grace begun, And brought them to the birth, in vain ? 0 let thy children see the sun ! Let all their souls be born again ! 9 Relieve the souls whose cross we bear, For whom thy suff'ring members mourn • Answer our faith's effectual prayer ; Bid every struggling child be born ! 1 AMB of God, who bear'st away -L^ All the sins of all mankind, Bow a nation to thy sway ; -- While we may acceptance find, Let us thankfully embrace The last offers of thy grace. 2 Thou thy messengers hast sent, Joyful tidings to proclaim, Willing we should all repent, Know salvation in thy Name, Feel our sins by grace forgiven, Find in thee the way to heaven. 3 Jesus, roll away the stone ; Good Physician, show thy art ! Make thy healing virtue known ; Break the unbelieving heart : For Believers Interceding. ±33 By thy bloody cross subdue ; Tell them, " I have died for you ! " 4 Let thy dying love constrain Those who disregard thy frown ; Sink the mountain to a plain ; Bring the pride of sinners down ; Soften the obdurate crowd ; Melt the rebels with thy blood ! 1 TESUS, from thy heavenly place, y Thy dwelling in the sky, Fill our Church with righteousness.
