Verse 1
What am I, O thou glorious God!
Or what my father’s house to thee!
That thou such blessings hast bestow’d
On me, the vilest reptile me!
I take the blessings from above,
And wonder at thy causeless love.

Verse 2
Me in my blood thy love pass’d by,
And stopp’d, my ruin to retrieve,
Wept o’er my soul thy pitying eye,
Thy bowels yearn’d, and sounded, Live!
Dying, I heard the welcome sound,
And pardon in thy mercy found.

Verse 3
Honour, and might, and thanks, and praise
I render to my pardning God,
Extol the riches of thy grace,
And spread thy saving name abroad,
That only name to sinners given,
Which lifts poor, dying worms to heaven.

Verse 4
Jesu, I bless thy gracious power,
And all within me shouts thy name;
Thy name let every soul adore,
Thy power let every tongue proclaim;
Thy grace let every sinner know,
And find with me their heaven below.
