John Colby's Hymn 108
Lyrics: John Colby
Tune: Trad. arr. D. H. Mansfield / Northampton Harmony
Meter: L.M. (8,8,8,8)
Oh, if poor sinners did but know,
How much for them I undergo,
They would not treat me with contempt,
Nor curse me when I say repent.
For lo, a heav'nly voice I hear:
"Go preach my gospel to the poor.
Bid mourning souls on me believe.
Bid all the world free grace receive."
And when my work is done below,
I trust to glory I shall go,
Meet all my Father's children there,
And in God's kingdom have a share.
