HYMN 104. (C. M.) A State of Nature and of Grace, 1 Cor. vi. 10, 11.
I
Not the malicious or profane,The wanton or the proud,
Nor thieves, nor slanderers shall obtain
The kingdom of our God.
II
Surprising grace! And such were weBy nature and by sin,
Heirs of immortal misery,
Unholy and unclean.
III
But we are wash'd in Jesus' blood,We're pardon'd through his name;
And the good Spirit of our God
Has sanctify'd our frame.
IV
O for a persevering powerTo keep thy just commands!
We would defile our hearts no more,
No more pollute our hands.
