Salvation by graceA
-
TitusB
-
Lord we confess our num'rous faultsC
How great our guilt has beenD
Foolish and vain were all our thoughtsE
And all our lives were sinD
-
But O my soul for ever praiseF
For ever love his nameG
Who turns thy feet from dangerous waysF
Of folly sin and shameG
-
'Tis not by works of righteousnessB
Which our own hands have doneH
But we are saved by sovereign graceA
Abounding through his SonH
-
'Tis from the mercy of our GodI
That all our hopes beginD
'Tis by the water and the bloodJ
Our souls are washed from sinD
-
'Tis through the purchase of his deathK
Who hung upon the treeL
The Spirit is sent down to breatheM
On such dry bones as weL
-
Raised from the dead we live anewN
And justified by graceA
We shall appear in glory tooN
And see our Father's faceA
