God waits in grace with hands outstretched to bless -- Glad news from heav'n! Mercy dispensed in perfect righteousness, Sinners forgiv'n! Repentance only, God requires from man, And faith in Christ, His well-beloved Son. | |

This priceless favour you may now embrace; 'Tis offered free, Since Jesus suffered in the sinner's place On Calv'ry's tree; Blest sinless One! for us He sin was made, Redemption's price by precious blood was paid. | |
| 3 |
Unsparing judgment, in that dark, lone hour, In love He bore; Laid down His life, destroyed death's fearful power; His work is o'er! Atonement made, God fully satisfied, The mighty Saviour's ris'n and glorified. | |

God's secret things, long treasured up in heav'n, In Christ are shown; Peace, sonship, joy, the Holy Spirit giv'n, Through Him are known. God's word obey, these wondrous blessings share -- The Spirit's comfort, guidance, love and care. | |
