Faith in Christ for pardon and sanctification.

How sad our state by nature is!

Our sin, how deep it stains!

And Satan binds our captive minds

Fast in his slavish chains.

But there's a voice of sovereign grace

Sounds from the sacred word:

"Ho! ye despairing sinners, come,

And trust upon the Lord."

My soul obeys th' almighty call,

And runs to this relief;

I would believe thy promise, Lord;

O help my unbelief!

[To the dear fountain of thy blood,

Incarnate God, I fly;

Here let me wash my spotted soul

From crimes of deepest dye.

Stretch out thine arm, victorious King

My reigning sins subdue;

Drive the old dragon from his seat,

With all his hellish crew.]

A guilty, weak, and helpless worm,

On thy kind arms I fall;

Be thou my strength and righteousness,

My Jesus, and my all.
