HYMN 64. —But they said, There is no Hope.

1

Lord, of thy Mercy we will sing,
thy Mercy hath no bound;
They that have said, There is no Hope,
thy Mercy sweet have found.

2

Sinners break forth, and in amaze,
do you Rejoyce, and say,
There's Hope, that we may Mercy find,
believe, and do not stay.

3

O Lord, thou dost not look that Men
should Worthiness obtain:
Or some inherent fitness get,
much less be Born again,

4

Before that they take hold on Thee,
but presently Believe;
And on thy Promise lay fast hold,
and Christ strait-way receive.

5

Glory to God, Glory to Christ,
let Sinners say no more,
There is no Hope; let all Believe,
and thy free Grace adore.
