The joys that I tasted in answer to prayer,
In answer to prayer.
* The American Vocalist omits this stanza as too fanciful as well as too crude
“SAVIOUR, THY DYING LOVE.”
This hymn of grateful piety was written in 1862, by Rev. S. Dryden Phelps, D.D., of New Haven, and first published in Pure Gold, 1871; afterwards in the (earlier) Baptist Hymn and Tune Book.
Saviour, Thy dying love
Thou gavest me,
Nor should I aught withhold
Dear Lord, from Thee.
