Sinners, call'd by grace, and blessed

Verse 1

Sinners, called by grace, and blessèd With a living faith in Christ, Must not think to be caressèd By a world of sin and vice; Satan’s agents Cannot love the Saviour’s choice.

Verse 2

Let this thought the Christian strengthen; Jesus’ name is life and peace; Angels have not skill to mention Half his wisdom, power, or grace. Souls that trust him, Soon shall see him face to face.

Verse 3

Though they suffer for a season, For the name of Christ, their Lord; And at times may know no reason Why such sorrows are endured; Soon he’ll teach them, That the whole has worked for good.

Verse 4

Happy is the savèd sinner, That endures for Jesus’ sake; He of endless life’s a winner; Of his glory shall partake; Jesus will not, Cannot, such a soul forsake.

Verse 5

O for love, for faith, and patience! Jesus, fix our souls on thee! Nor let Satan’s dire vexations, Make us start aside or flee; May we ever Cling and twine, dear Lord, to thee.
