MHB 329 – YE neighbors and friends of Jesus draw near

Methodist-Hymns-329

1: YE neighbors and friends of Jesus draw near:
His love condescends by titles so dear
To call and invite you His triumph to prove,
And freely delight you in Jesus’s love.

2: The Shepherd who died His sheep to redeem;
On every side are gathered to Him
The weary and burdened, the reprobate race;
And wait to be pardoned through Jesus’s grace.

3: The blind are restored through Jesus’s name,
They see their dear Lord, and follow the Lamb;
The halt they are walking, and running their race;
The dumb they are talking of Jesus’s grace.

4: The deaf hear His voice and comforting Word,
It bids them rejoice in Jesus their Lord:
Thy sins are forgiven, accepted thou art;
They listen, and heaven springs up in their heart

5: The lepers from all their spots are made clean,
The dead by His call are raised from their sin;
In Jesu’s compassion the sick find a cure,
And gospel salvation is preached to the poor.

6: They seek Him and find: they ask and receive
The Friend of mankind, who bids them believe:
On Jesus they venture, His gift they embrace,
And forcibly enter His kingdom of grace.

7: O Jesus, ride on till all are subdued,
Thy mercy make known, and sprinkle Thy blood;
Display Thy salvation, and teach the new song
To every nation, and people, and tongue. Amen.
