Hymn 382 — Not to ourselves we owe
| 382 | P. GERHARDT (1607-1676) from German | S.M. |
| 1 |
Not to ourselves we owe That we, O God, are Thine; Jesus, the Lord, our night broke through And gave us light divine. | |
| 2 |
Our God in boundless love This blessing freely gave, And Jesus came from heav'n above, Our ruined souls to save. | |
| 3 |
No more in dread of wrath, Thy sovereign love we see; And, Father, in confiding faith, We rest our souls on Thee. | |
| 4 |
Our hearts look up to see The glory Christ is giv'n, In spirit dwell where we shall be With Him, Thine heirs, in heav'n. | |
| 5 |
With all the ransomed band, Soon shall we see Him there; With them and Him in glory stand, And in His honour share. | |
