HYMN 21. Christ at the Sinners Door: Or, A Song of Praise on Gospel Salvation.

1

We, Lord, of thy Salvation have
a Declaration had:
O Sinners know Christ can you save;
rejoyce in Him be glad.

2

Salvation is brought very near,
your Saviour also stands
Now, now, O Soul, ev'n at thy door,
O yield to his Commands!

3

Open to him, before his Wrath
is kindled in his Heart,
And he from you, with angry Frowns,
for ever doth depart.

4

If it a little kindled be,
O happy, happy he,
Thon holy One, who doth believe,
and puts his trust in Thee

27

5

Ye Saints Rejoyce, ye interest have
in this Salvation;
What is it you can further crave?
sing Praise to th'Holy One:

6

Salvation is wrought out for you,
your God and Christ adore,
Blessings of life do over-flow;
sing Praise for evermore.

7

Rejoyce that ye accepted be
in your eternal Head,
And quickn'd are, (and Union have;)
who once in sin lay dead.
