For the Anniversary of One’s Conversion
Glory to God, and praise, and love Be ever, ever given, By saints below, and saints above, The church in earth and heaven. |
On this glad day the glorious Sun Of Righteousness arose: On my benighted soul He shone, And fill’d it with repose. |
Sudden expired the legal strife; ’Twas then I ceased to grieve; My second, real, living life I then began to live. |
Then with my heart I first believed, Believed with faith Divine; Power with the Holy Ghost received To call the Saviour mine. |
I felt my Lord’s atoning blood Close to my soul applied; Me, me He loved—the Son of God For me, for me He died! |
I found, and own’d His promise true, Ascertain’d of my part; My pardon pass’d in heaven I knew, When written on my heart. |
O for a thousand tongues to sing My dear Redeemer’s praise! The glories of my God and King, The triumphs of His grace. |
My gracious Master, and my God, Assist me to proclaim, To spread through all the earth abroad The honours of Thy name. |
Jesus, the name that charms our fears, That bids our sorrows cease; ’Tis music in the sinner’s ears, ’Tis life, and health, and peace! |
He breaks the power of cancell’d sin, He sets the prisoner free; His blood can make the foulest clean, His blood avail’d for me. |
He speaks; and, listening to His voice, New life the dead receive, The mournful, broken hearts rejoice, The humble poor believe. |
Hear Him, ye deaf; His praise, ye dumb, Your loosen’d tongues employ; Ye blind, behold your Saviour come; And leap, ye lame, for joy. |
Look unto Him, ye nations; own Your God, ye fallen race! Look, and be saved through faith alone; Be justified by grace! |
See all your sins on Jesus laid; The Lamb of God was slain, His soul was once an offering made For every soul of man. |
Harlots, and publicans, and thieves In holy triumph join; Saved is the sinner that believes From crimes as great as mine. |
Murderers, and all ye hellish crew, Ye sons of lust and pride, Believe the Saviour died for you; For me the Saviour died. |
Awake from guilty nature’s sleep, And Christ shall give you light, Cast all your sins into the deep, And wash the Ethiop white. |
With me, your chief, you then shall know, Shall feel your sins forgiven; Anticipate your heaven below, And own that love is heaven. |
