LIII. Reigning Grace

1 Now may the Lord reveal his face,
And teach our stamm'ring tongues
To make his sov'reign, reigning grace,
The subject of our songs!

2 Grace reigns to pardon crimson sins,
To melt the hardest hearts;
And from the work it once begins
It never more departs.

3 Grace tills the soil, and sows the seeds,
Provides the sun and rain;
Till from the tender blade proceeds,
The ripen'd harvest grain.

4 'Twas grace that call'd our souls at first
By grace thus far we're come,
And grace will help us thro' the worst,
And lead us safely home.
