BOOK III. 6 My Saviour, by his powerful word, Has turn'd my night to day ; And his salvation s joys restored Which I had sinn'd away.

7 Dear Lord, I wonder and adore, Thy grace is all divine ; Oh ! keep me that I sin no more Against such love as thine !

1 SAVED by blood, I live to tell What the love of Christ hath done ; He redeem d my soul from hell, Of a rebel made a son : Oh ! I tremble still to think How secure I lived in sin ; Sporting on destruction shrink, Yet preserved from falling in.

2 In his own appointed hour, To my heart the Saviour spoke ; Touch d me by his Spirit s power, And my dang rous slumber broke. Then I saw and own d my guilt : Soon my gracious Lord replied, &quot; Fear not, I my blood have spilt, Twas for such as thee I died.&quot;

3 Shame and wonder, joy and love, All at once possess d my heart; Can I hope thy grace to prove After acting such a part ? &quot;Thou hast greatly sinn d,&quot; he said, &quot;But I freely all forgive; I myself thy debt have paid, Now I bid thee rise and live.&quot;

4 Come, my fellow-sinners, try, Jesus heart is full of love ! Oh that you, as well as I, May his wondrous mercy prove!
