117. Not to Ourselves We Owe | S.M. |
| by Toplady |
|
|
| | |
|
| 1 | Not to ourselves we owe | Ephesians 2:8-9; 2 Corinthians 4:6; Ephesians 5:8 |
| That we, O God, are Thine; |
| Jesus, the Lord, our night broke through |
| And gave us light divine. |
|
| 2 | The Father's grace and love, | John 6:38; Luke 15:1-6 |
| This blessèd mercy gave, |
| And Jesus left the throne above, |
| His wandering sheep to save. |
|
| 3 | No more the heirs of wrath— | Ephesians 2:3; Luke 15:20-24 |
| Thy sovereign love we see; |
| And, Father, in confiding faith, |
| We cast our souls on Thee. |
|
| 4 | Our hearts look up to see | John 17:24; Colossians 3:4; Romans 8:17; Philippians 1:23 |
| The glory Thou hast given, |
| And dwell e'en now where we shall be |
| With Christ, Thine heirs, in heaven. |
|
| 5 | With the adopted band, | Romans 8:15; 1 John 3:2 |
| Soon shall we see Thee there: |
| With them and Him in glory stand, |
| And all His honors share. |
