[The treasure of celestial grace]
We have this treasure in earthen vessels.
—iv. 7.
The treasure of celestial grace,
The riches of true holiness,
In earthen vessels we receive,
When Jesus in our hearts doth live:
Yet when in us He lives alone,
His good we dare not call our own,
The vessel can no longer claim,
The earth continues still the same.
The riches of true holiness,
In earthen vessels we receive,
When Jesus in our hearts doth live:
Yet when in us He lives alone,
His good we dare not call our own,
46
The earth continues still the same.
The power and excellence Divine
In me reveal'd is Christ's, not mine;
His may it still to all appear,
Mine be the sinner's character:
I nothing have whereof to boast,
I, I would sink entirely lost,
Shake off this vile, terrestrial clay,
And mingle with eternal day.

And mingle with eternal day.
