Convinced I of the truth may be

Verse 1
Convinc’d I of the truth may be,
To Jesus faithful servants cleave,
His mighty works with wonder see,
His sacramental rite receive,
Yet never let mine idols go,
Or truly my Redeemer know.

Verse 2
Still in the gall of bitterness,
Bound with the chains of sin I am,
Till Jesus by his blood release;
And then, accepted thro’ his name,
I stand before his Father’s sight,
And then my sprinkled heart is right.
