569t Emmaus

Tune: Raymond C. Hamrick, 1975

Words: Anne Steele, 1760

Meter: Common Meter (8,6,8,6)

Dear Lord, what heav’nly wonders dwell
In Thy atoning blood;
By this are sinners snatched from hell
And rebels brought to God.

Oh may the sweet, the blissful theme
Fill ev’ry heart and tongue;
Till strangers love Thy charming name,
And join the sacred song.
