'Twas Grace! Jehovah's Treasures Blest

Verse

‘Twas grace! the balm of Gilead
Upon thy wounds applied;
That soothes the sting of sin innate
With plenteous stores supplied.

Verse

‘Twas grace! a tender cordial
To wicked, fettered hearts;
So richly steeped in mercy-drops
Once struck by Satan’s darts.

Verse

‘Twas grace! harmonious tune resound
In sweet unceasing song;
Thither rose the joyful notes
To lure the blood-bought throng.

Verse

‘Twas grace! contrived rebellious Man
Through sacred zeal repel;
Tendrils snare the pilgrim’s feet
Forth from polluted Hell.

Verse

‘Twas grace! Immanuel’s crimson stream
Swift o’er the sinner’s chains;
Swept beneath a bleeding tide
That dripped from piercèd veins.

Verse

‘Twas grace! the lamp that guideth thee
From knavish paths astray;
Divine in bright meridian blaze
To light the narrow way.

Verse

‘Twas grace! Jehovah’s treasures blest
The hill of Zion yields;
Thy gilt eternal dwelling-place
In Heaven’s elysian fields.
