The sinner that hath, O Jesus, from Thee

Verse 1
The sinner that hath, O Jesus, from Thee
That scriptural faith, Thy vessel shall be,
Peace, mercy, and blessing To others impart,
And joy never ceasing, Which springs from his heart.

Verse 2
Pour’d out from above Thy Spirit in him,
In rivers of love To sinners shall stream:
With spiritual graces, Which ever o’reflow,
The world he refreshes, The desart below.
