Hymn Context Compare
Not of earth or sin or death.
Of ev­ery sin­ner’s heart;
Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia! Al­le­lu­ia!
The freest, tru­est grace of Heav’n;
Prepared for the blind, the poor and the needy;
Take arms against the foe.
Wailing of the pro­phet cursed,
“Wrecked outright!” So we lament;
Search, Lord, our spir­its in Thy sight,
Jesus’ blood can make you free;
So let the pow­ers ac­cursed
Thus we’ll love one ano­ther,
A worth­less worm, like me?
Jesus is here, Je­sus is here;
Sing vic­to­ry, vic­to­ry ov­er death,
My soul with­out it dies!
His par­don­ing grace will set thee free;
What is this that grieves you?
An em­pire wide shall have;
If any man thirst, and hap­py would be,

worst

And can change them in a breath.
Or force Him to de­part.
But Christ their le­gions hath dis­persed;
His worst of scorn and en­mi­ty.
Return, then, there’s room at this ta­ble for thee.
Our ar­dor still shall rise;
Help us, Lord, their chains to burst,
Then the soul, surviving all,
Shed on our souls a blaze of light,
When He saved a wretch like me.
Christ Je­sus shall ride
Unaltered and fond
I can­not doubt Thy will;
Jesus is here, Je­sus is here;
Our lov­ing Sav­ior broke the bars,
Could they but see Thy face:
And trust thy Sav­ior’s Come to Me.
Speaking may re­lieve you.
His peo­ple He shall save.
May drink of My Spir­it, ex­cept­ed is none,
