Son of God, if thy free grace

1 Son of God, if thy free grace
Again hath rais'd me up,
Call'd me still to seek thy face,
And giv'n me back my hope:
Still thy timely help afford,
And all thy loving kindness show:
Keep me, keep me, gracious lord,
And never let me go.

2 By me, O my Saviour, stand,
In sore temptation's hour!
Save me with thine out-stretch'd hand,
And shew forth all thy pow'r:
O be mindful of thy word,
Thine all-sufficient grace bestow:
Keep me, keep me, gracious Lord,
And never let me go.

3 Give me, Lord, a holy fear,
And fix it in my heart,
That I may from evil near
With speedy care depart.
Sin be more than hell abhor'd:
Till thou destroy the tyrant foe,
Keep me, keep me, gracious Lord,
And never let me go.

4 Never let me leave thy breast,
From thee, my Saviour stray;
Thou art my support and rest,
My true and living way;
My exceeding great reward,
In heav'n above, and earth below:
Keep me, keep me, gracious Lord,
And never let me go.
