O, what a debt I owe

Representative Text

1 Oh what a debt we owe
To Him who shed His blood,
And cleansed our souls, and gave us pow'r
To stand before His God!

2 Saviour and Lord, we own
The riches of Thy grace;
For we can call Thy God our God--
Can bow before His face.

3 Thy Father, too, above,
We worship as our own,
Who gave with Thee the Spirit's cry,
To us His sons foreknown.
