How high a privilege 'tis to know

Verse 1

How high a privilege ’tis to know Our sins are all forgiven; To bear about this pledge below, This special grant of heaven!

Verse 2

To look on this when sunk in fears, While each repeated sight, Like some reviving cordial, cheers, And makes temptations light!

Verse 3

O what is honour, wealth, or mirth, To this well-grounded peace? How poor are all the goods of earth, To such a gift as this!

Verse 4

This is a treasure rich indeed, Which none but Christ can give; Of this the best of men have need; This I, the worst, receive.
