[All! shall all forgiven be!]

Verily I say unto you, All sins shall, &c. —iii. 28.

All! shall all forgiven be!
Mercy then there is for me:
Great as my offences are
Christ prohibits my despair:

470

If to Jesus' name I bow,
Ready is my pardon now,
Purchased by the Saviour's blood,
Promised by the oath of God.
Saviour at Thy feet I fall:
All! hast Thou forgiven all!
All the sins I e'er have done!
O the depth of love unknown!
Lost in love unknown I cry
Why, Thou Friend of sinners, why?
Cry through all eternity,
Why would God expire for me?
