Hymns

Dear Lord! my panting soul inflame,

by John Kent·1814·Meter 8.8.8.8 (LM)

Based on Ps 107:1,2; 1 John 1:7,9

1

Dear Lord! my panting soul inflame,
To spread abroad thy matchless fame,
And with a solemn pleasure tell,
The grace which saves from death and hell.

2

Here's pardon full for sin that's past;
It matters not how black their cast;
And O my soul, with wonder view,
For sins to come here's pardon too.

3

The nation, thus redeemed from sin,
Was chosen, loved, and blessed in him;
They ne'er shall die while Jesus lives;
His covenant life eternal gives.

4

Let saints prepare to crown his brow
With bright immortal trophies now;
And let their songs record his name,
His honours, and his deathless fame.
