Jesus, Who Bought Us with His Blood
VERSE 1
Jesus,
who bought us with His blood,
And
makes our souls His care;
Was
known of old as Israel’s God,
And
answered Jabez’ prayer.
VERSE 2
Jabez! a
child of grief! the name
Befits
poor sinners well;
For
Jesus bore the cross and shame,
To save
our souls from hell.
VERSE 3
Teach
us, O Lord, like him, to plead
For
mercies from above;
O come,
and bless our souls indeed,
With
light, and joy, and love.
VERSE 4
The
Gospel’s promised land is wide,
We fain
would enter in;
But we
are pressed, on every side,
With
unbelief and sin.
VERSE 5
Arise; O
Lord, enlarge our coast,
Let us
possess the whole;
That
Satan may no longer boast
He can
Thy work control.
VERSE 6
Oh, may
Thine hand be with us still,
Our
Guide and Guardian be;
To keep
us safe from every ill,
Till
death shall set us free.
VERSE 7
Help us
on Thee to cast our care,
And on
Thy Word to rest;
That
Israel’s God, who heareth prayer,
Will
grant us our request.
