For Je­sus has given the rule,
And in the broad high­way,
The poor and the needy may come,
And for­ev­er His praise I’ll sing.
Of Him who came to save the lost,
The world still fol­lows on,
No suf­fer­er turns to Thee in vain.
While we sing our Sav­ior’s praise;

the halt

Go bring them all in­to the school.
To be rea­dy for the break­ing of the day.
And all who are seek­ing a heav­en­ly home,
Whosoever might call on His name!
But now in feeb­ler lay we greet
Along His path were drawn;
Sought not in vain Thy ten­dance kind,
Here their Eb­en­ez­er raise.
