But through thy Son’s redeeming love,
For grace and mercy I implore Thee.
Salvation! I’m through Christ forgiven,
His blood has wash’d out all my woe;
New light, and joy, and peace from heaven
My sorrow-laden heart o’erflow:
To songs of joy change notes of sadness,
Since thou at length art heard, my tongue!
My tears! from bitter anguish wrung,
Flow on, but flow as tears of gladness.
