120. Salvation by Grace

1 Lord, we confess our numerous faults,
How great our guilt has been!
Foolish and vain were all our thoughts,
And all our lives were sin.

2 But, O my soul, forever praise,
For ever love his name,
Who turns thy feet from dangerous ways
Of folly, sin and shame.

3 ’Tis not by works of righteousness
Which our own hands have done;
But we are sav'd by sovereign grace
Abounding through his Son.

4 ’Tis from the mercy of our God
That all our hopes begin;
’Tis by the water and the blood
Our souls are washed from sin.

5 ’Tis through the purchase of his death
Who hung upon the tree,
The Spirit is sent down to breathe
On such dry bones as we.

6 Rais'd from the dead we live anew;
And, justified by grace,
We shall appear in glory too,
And see our Father’s face.
