C HELMSFORD Tune .

Contrite souls, with broken spirit,
Cast yourselves at Jesu's feet;
View by faith his blood and merit,
You and justice there may meet.
Grace triumphant,
Shines in heaven, and reigns on earth.

Free salvation like a river
Flows from Christ's exalted throne;
Grace on earth, and heav'n for ever,
Are his princely gift alone:
Come and welcome — —
Ask for grace, and glory too.

Trust his faithfulness, and try it,
None e'er trusted him in vain;
Plead his word, he can't deny it,
Boldly ask, and you'll obtain:
Come to Jesus — —
He will cast out none that come.

Turn away from all your doing,
Thro' the cross alone draw near;
Your best works would prove your ruin,
Your worst sins are cancel'd there:
Full salvation — —
From the cross of Jesus flows.

Turn from Sinai's awful thunder,
'Tis the gospel's blissful sound
Bids you tread, with joy and wonder,
Free redemption's sacred ground!
Crown the Saviour — —
Trust his word, and shout his praise.

Lord, accept our adoration,
For thy grace, thus full and free;
Till we know complete salvation,
Till the Saviour's face we see;
Then we'll praise him,
With immortal harmony.
