6 My Saviour, by his powerful word,
Has turn'd my night to day ;
And his salvation s joys restored
Which I had sinn'd away.
7 Dear Lord, I wonder and adore,
Thy grace is all divine ;
Oh ! keep me that I sin no more
Against such love as thine !
54.
Hear what He has done for my Soul!
1 SAVED by blood, I live to tell
What the love of Christ hath done ;
He redeem d my soul from hell,
Of a rebel made a son :
Oh ! I tremble still to think
How secure I lived in sin ;
Sporting on destruction shrink,
Yet preserved from falling in.
2 In his own appointed hour,
To my heart the Saviour spoke ;
Touch d me by his Spirit s power,
And my dang rous slumber broke.
Then I saw and own d my guilt :
Soon my gracious Lord replied,
" Fear not, I my blood have spilt,
Twas for such as thee I died."
3 Shame and wonder, joy and love,
All at once possess d my heart;
Can I hope thy grace to prove
After acting such a part ?
"Thou hast greatly sinn d," he said,
"But I freely all forgive;
I myself thy debt have paid,
Now I bid thee rise and live."
4 Come, my fellow-sinners, try,
Jesus heart is full of love !
Oh that you, as well as I,
May his wondrous mercy prove!
