Text:Trusting in the grace of Christ

CLVIII. Trusting in the grace of Christ

1 'Tis the Lord thus far hath brought me,
By his watchful tender care;
Sure 'tis he himself hath taught me
How to seek his face by pray'r;
After so much mercy past,
Will he give me up at last?

2 True I've been a guilty creature,
And have sinn'd against his grace;
But forgiveness is his nature,
Though he justly hides his face:
Ere he call'd me, well he knew
What a heart like mine would do.

3 In the Saviour's intercession
Therefore still I will confide;
Lord accept my free confession:
Though I've sinn'd, yet thou hast dy'd;
This is all I have to plead,
This is all the plea I need.
