Hail! My Ever Blessèd Jesus

lyricist: John Wingrove, 1785
Composer: John Dykes, 1857

Hail! my ev­er bless­èd Je­sus

Only Thee I wish to sing;

To my soul Thy name is pre­cious

Thou my pro­phet

priest and king.

O what mer­cy flows from Heav­en!

O what joy and hap­pi­ness!

Love I much? I’m much for­giv­en

I’m a mi­ra­cle of grace.

Once with Ad­am’s race in ru­in

Unconcerned in sin I lay;

Swift de­struc­tion still pur­su­ing

Till my Sav­ior passed that way.

Witness

all ye hosts of Heav­en

My Re­deem­er’s ten­der­ness;

Love I much? I’m much for­giv­en

I’m a mi­ra­cle of grace.

Shout

ye bright an­gel­ic choir

Praise the Lamb en­throned above;

Whilst as­ton­ished I ad­mire

God’s free grace and bound­less love.

That blest mo­ment I re­ceived Him

Filled my soul with joy and peace;

Love I much? I’m much for­giv­en

I’m a mi­ra­cle of grace.
