Let us adore the grace that seeks

John Newton • English

Primary Scripture: 2 Corinthians 6:17-18

Verse 1

Let us adore the grace that seeks To draw our hearts above! Attend, 'tis God the Savior speaks, And every word is love.

Verse 2

So holy, just and pure his throne, Each angle veils his face, A people still he calls his own, Amongst our sinful race.

Verse 3

Careless, awhile, thy live in sin, Enslaved to Satan's power; But they obey the call divine, In his appointed hour.

Verse 4

"Come forth, he says, no more pursue, The path that leads to death; Look up, bleeding Savior view, Look, and be saved by faith.

Verse 5

"My sons and daughters you shall be, Through the atoning blood; And you shall claim, and find in me, A Father and a God."

Verse 6

Lord, speak these words to every heart, By thine all-powerful voice; That we may now fro sin depart, And make thy love our choice.

Verse 7

If now we learn to seek thy face, By Christ the living way; We'll praise thee for this hour of grace, Through an eternal day.
