Son of God, if thy free grace

Verse 1

Son of God, if thy free grace Again hath rais'd me up, Call'd me still to seek thy face, And giv'n me back my hope: Still thy timely help afford, And all thy loving kindness show: Keep me, keep me, gracious lord, And never let me go.

Verse 2

By me, O my Saviour, stand, In sore temptation's hour! Save me with thine out-stretch'd hand, And shew forth all thy pow'r: O be mindful of thy word, Thine all-sufficient grace bestow: Keep me, keep me, gracious Lord, And never let me go.

Verse 3

Give me, Lord, a holy fear, And fix it in my heart, That I may from evil near With speedy care depart. Sin be more than hell abhor'd: Till thou destroy the tyrant foe, Keep me, keep me, gracious Lord, And never let me go.

Verse 4

Never let me leave thy breast, From thee, my Saviour stray; Thou art my support and rest, My true and living way; My exceeding great reward, In heav'n above, and earth below: Keep me, keep me, gracious Lord, And never let me go.
