Salvation by Grace

Verse 1

Lord, we confess our num'rous faults, How great our guilt has been, How vain and foolish all our thoughts, How deeply stained with sin.

Verse 2

But oh, my soul, forever praise, Forever love, his name Who turns your feet from dang'rous ways Of folly, sin, and shame.

Verse 3

'Tis not by works of righteousness Which our own hands have done, But we are saved by God's free grace Abounding through his Son.

Verse 4

'Tis from the mercy of our God That all our hopes begin; 'Tis by the water and the blood Our souls are saved from sin.

Verse 5

'Tis through the purchase of his death Who hung upon the tree The Spirit is sent down to breathe On such dry bones as we.

Verse 6

Raised from the dead, we live anew; And, justified by grace, We shall appear in glory, too, And see our Father's face.
