Omnipotent grace
Has reached my case,
And now I would fully
The gospel embrace ;
No more go astray,
From Jesus the way,
But love him and serve him
By night and by day.
I ’ll call to my mind,
His favours how kind,
When to his salvation,
Mv heart he inclined ;
I ’Il tell of his love,
Which raised me above,
And sweetly constrained me,
His will to approve.
To him will I fly,
had on him rely,
Will make him my refuge
When danger is nigh ;
In time of distress,
I ’ll seek for redress,
And when he delivers,
His name will I bless.
He is my best friend,
On whom I depend,
Whose love and whose mercy
All others transcend ;
Come sinners, draw near,
Before him appear,
Now seek has salvation,
While Jesus is near.
