1 Not to ourselves we owe
That we, O God, are Thine;
Jesus, the Lord, our night broke through
And gave us light divine.
2 The Father's grace and love
This blessed mercy gave,
And Jesus left the throne above
His wand'ring sheep to save.
3 No more the heirs of wrath--
Thy sov'reign love we see;
And, Father, in confiding faith,
We cast our souls on Thee.
4 Our hearts look up to see
The glory Thou hast given,
And dwell e'en now where we shall be
With Christ, Thine heirs, in heaven.
5 With the adopted band,
Soon shall we see Thee there:
With them and Him in glory stand,
And all His honors share.
