Verse 1
Soon as with conscious grief I said
My foot hath slipt, thy gracious aid
My sinking soul upheld,
Ready thine all-redeeming love
Th’ acknowledg’d evil to remove,
And speak my pardon seal’d.
Verse 2
Guilty whene’er my sin I own,
Mercy doth to my rescue run,
The Saviour bids me rise,
Repeats the reconciling word,
In peace, and innocence restor’d,
And freely justifies.
Verse 3
Jesus, I magnify thy grace,
Thy free, unbounded goodness praise,
And mercy without end,
Assur’d, thou wilt my weakness bear,
Till rais’d to meet thee in the air,
I grasp my heavenly Friend.
