Lord, we adore thy matchless ways
In bringing souls to thee;
We sing and shout eternal praise,
For grace so full and free.
Thy grace pervades the prison's gloom,
And shines with lustre there;
Thy power can bring a jailer home,
With trembling, hope, and fear.
“What must I do,” the Jailer cries;
“To save my sinking soul?”
“Believe in Christ,” the word replies,
“Thy faith shall make thee whole.”
By doing, we are all undone;
The law to death condemns;
Our hope, our help, our all is gone;
But God salvation sends.
Our works are all the works of sin,
Our nature quite depraved;
Jesus alone can make us clean;
By grace are sinners saved.
“Believe, believe,” the gospel cries,
“This is the living way:”
From faith in Christ our hopes arise,
And shine to perfect day.
Come, sinners, then, the Saviour trust,
To wash you in his blood;
To change your hearts, subdue your lust,
And bring you home to God.
