[The riches of Thy pardoning grace]
Not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth, &c.
—ii. 4.
The riches of Thy pardoning grace
I have too long despised,
Nor husbanded the added space,
Nor every moment prized:
I harden'd by ten thousand falls
My unrepenting heart,
Withstood the slighted Spirit's calls,
And forced Him to depart.
I have too long despised,
Nor husbanded the added space,
Nor every moment prized:
I harden'd by ten thousand falls
My unrepenting heart,
Withstood the slighted Spirit's calls,
And forced Him to depart.
But now enlighten'd from above
Thy kind intent I see;
And led by Thy unwearied love
I come at last to Thee.
I know Thou hast so long forborne,
And kept me out of hell,
That I might to my Saviour turn,
And all Thy goodness feel.
Thy kind intent I see;
And led by Thy unwearied love
I come at last to Thee.
I know Thou hast so long forborne,
And kept me out of hell,
That I might to my Saviour turn,
And all Thy goodness feel.
I from this instant now repent,
Beneath my vileness groan,
Renounce my idols, and consent
To live for God alone.
But let me suffer on till death,
Though pardon'd and restored,
Lamenting with my latest breath,
That I have grieved my Lord.
Beneath my vileness groan,
Renounce my idols, and consent
To live for God alone.
But let me suffer on till death,
Though pardon'd and restored,
Lamenting with my latest breath,
That I have grieved my Lord.
