[O Saviour of all In Adam that fell]
O
Saviour of all In Adam that fell,
Attend to our call, And set to Thy seal,
Our thankful rehearsal If Thou dost approve,
Of grace universal, And infinite love.

For whom didst Thou die, Thou meek Lamb of God?
With all men may I Lay claim to Thy blood?
Me, me Thou redeemest, Who for the unjust
Hast suffer'd, and camest To save what was lost.
With all men may I Lay claim to Thy blood?
Me, me Thou redeemest, Who for the unjust
Hast suffer'd, and camest To save what was lost.
If all men were dead, And fell in the fall
Of Adam, our head, The type of us all,
Our Adam from heaven The loss doth retrieve;
For all Thou wast given, That all might believe.
Of Adam, our head, The type of us all,
Our Adam from heaven The loss doth retrieve;
For all Thou wast given, That all might believe.
If all men have stray'd, Of every one
The sins God hath laid On Thee, His dear Son;
And all may find pardon, For pardon who call;
Thou bearedst the burden, The guilt of us all.
The sins God hath laid On Thee, His dear Son;
And all may find pardon, For pardon who call;
Thou bearedst the burden, The guilt of us all.
In Adam we died, In Thee we may live;
Thy merits applied We all may receive:
The common salvation To all doth belong,
To every nation, And people, and tongue.
Thy merits applied We all may receive:
The common salvation To all doth belong,
To every nation, And people, and tongue.
Our faith is not vain; But death Thou didst taste
For every man: 'Tis finish'd! 'Tis past!
The world is forgiven For Jesus's sake;
The kingdom of heaven By force we may take.
For every man: 'Tis finish'd! 'Tis past!
The world is forgiven For Jesus's sake;
The kingdom of heaven By force we may take.
O bowels of love! O infinite grace!
So freely to move To all the lost race!
O wondrous compassion! O mercy Divine!
Eternal salvation, Through Jesus, is mine.
So freely to move To all the lost race!
O wondrous compassion! O mercy Divine!
Eternal salvation, Through Jesus, is mine.
Dear Saviour of all, Attend while we sing;
On Thee do we call, Thy Witness to bring!
Whose arms were extended A world to embrace,
Whose love never ended, Would save the whole race.
On Thee do we call, Thy Witness to bring!
Whose arms were extended A world to embrace,
Whose love never ended, Would save the whole race.

Great Witness of God, To Thee we appeal!
His love shed abroad, His counsel reveal:
If all may find favour, Pure love if Thou art,
Speak inwardly, Saviour, Amen to my heart.
His love shed abroad, His counsel reveal:
If all may find favour, Pure love if Thou art,
Speak inwardly, Saviour, Amen to my heart.
