1. Thou great mysterious God unknown, | |||
Whose love hath gently led me on | |||
E’en from my infant days, | |||
Mine inmost soul expose to view, | |||
And tell me if I never knew | |||
Thy justifying grace. | |||
2. If I have only known thy fear, | |||
And follow’e with an heart sincere | |||
Thy drawings from above, | |||
Now, now the farther grace bestow, | |||
And let my sprinkled conscience know | |||
Thy sweet forgiving love. | |||
3. Short of thy love I would not stop, | |||
{{ | A stranger to the gospel-hope, | ||
The sense of sin forgiven, | |||
I would not, Lord, my soul deceive, | |||
}} | Without thy inward witness live, | ||
That antepast of heaven.}} | |||

4. If now the witness were in me, | |||
Would he not testify of thee | |||
In Jesus reconciled? | |||
And should I not with faith draw nigh, | |||
And boldly Abba Father cry, | |||
I know myself thy child. | |||
5. Ah never let thy servant rest, | |||
Till of my part in Christ possessed | |||
I on thy mercy feed, | |||
Unworthy of the crumbs that fall, | |||
Yet raised by him who died for all | |||
To eat the children’s bread. | |||
6. O may I cast my rags aside, | |||
My filthy rags of virtuous pride, | |||
And for acceptance groan; | |||
My works and righteousness disclaim, | |||
With all I have, or can, or am, | |||
And trust in grace alone.}} | |||

Or sin, or righteousness remove, | |||
Thy glory to display, | |||
Mine heart of unbelief convince, | |||
And now absolve me from my sins, | |||
And take them all away. | |||
8. Father, in me reveal thy Son, | |||
And to my inmost soul make known | |||
How merciful thou art, | |||
The secret of thy love reveal, | |||
And by thine hallowing Spirit dwell | |||
Forever in my heart.}} | |||
