Should we receive that grace in vain

Verse 1

Should we receive that grace in vain, That precious gift of God; And serve our former lusts again, And slight the Saviours blood.

Verse 2

Should we refuse to watch and pray, And loose what we have gain'd? That would be casting Christ away, And all his love disdain'd.

Verse 3

The Lord was pleas'd our pray'rs to hear In the accepted hour: Now is the time to persevere, And use the Saviour's pow'r.

Verse 4

As faithful servants of the Lord, Ourselves we must approve-- Attend unto his precious word, With pure unfeigned Love.

Verse 5

To bear assaults on ev'ry hand, And yet now be dismay'd; Confirm'd in Christ by faith to stand, Supported by his aid.
