[Music]
Thy ceaseless, unexhausted love,
Unmerited and free,
Delights our evil to remove,
And helps our misery.
O! hallelujah! grace is free;
There's enough for each there's enough for all,
There's enough for evermore.
Thou waitest to be gracious still;
Thou dost with sinners bear;
That, saved, we may thy goodness feel,
And all thy grace declare.
Thy goodness and thy truth to me,
To every soul abound;
A vast unfathomable sea
Where all our thoughts are drowned.
Its streams the whole creation reach,
So plenteous is the store;
Enough for all, enough for each,
Enough for evermore.
Two more stanzas of text are in the _Revivalist_. The tune is of the
type seen in 'The Rejected Lover', Sharp, ii., 96ff.; and a closer
variant is 'Come All You Worthy Christians', JFSS, ii., 117.

FOR ME THE SAVIOR DIED or ATONEMENT, REV 13
Hexatonic, mode 2 b, with cadentially raised seventh (I -- 3 IV V 6 7
[VII])
[Music]
For ever here my rest shall be
Close to thy bleeding side;
This, all my hope and all my plea,
For me the Savior died.
For me the Savior died,
For me the Savior died,
This, all my hope and all my plea,
For me the Savior died.
My dying Savior and my God,
Fountain for guilt and sin,
Sprinkle me ever with thy blood,
And cleanse and keep me clean.
Wash me and make me thus thine own,
Wash me and mine thou art;
Wash me, but not my feet alone--
My hands, my head, my heart.
Th' atonement of thy blood apply
Till faith to sight improve;
Till hope in full fruition die,
And all my soul be love.
The tune is related to 'The Greenwood Siding', Cox, p. 522; 'Babe of
Bethlehem' in this collection; and 'Come all you Worthy Christians',
fourth version, JFSS, ii., 117.
