If God had bid his thunders roll,
And lightnings flash to blast my soul,
I still had stubborn been:
But mercy has my heart subdu'd—
A bleeding Saviour I have view'd.
And now I hate my sin.
Now, Lord, I would be thine alone;
Come take possession of thine own.
For thou hast set me free;
Released from Satan's hard command,
See all my pow;rs in waiting stand,
To be employ'd by thee.
My will conform'd to thine would move;
On thee my hope, desire, and love,
In fixed attention join:
My hands, my eyes, my ears, my tongue.
Have Satan's servants been too long.
But now they shall be thine.
And can I be the very same.
Who lately durst blaspheme thy name,,
And on thy gospel tread?
Surely each one, who hears my case.
Will praise thee, and confess thy grace
Invincible indeed!
