We fly not now from that all-seeing eye,
 
Which once we shunned, to hide ourselves in night;
 
The blood that purged our sins has brought us nigh,
 
To dwell in God’s own love, and walk in light;
 
Thee, holy, holy, holy Lord, we love,
 
Whose holy will we now delight to learn and prove.
“Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea. Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.” (Psalm 139:7-12)
“But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.” (Ephesians 2:13)
“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7)
“And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.” (Revelation 4:8)
“For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.” (Romans 12:3)
“Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.” (Psalm 143:10)

Sin can’t condemn, for grace has justified;
 
Sin shall not reign, for grace has set us free;
 
Sin we abhor, since Christ our Surety died;
 
His grace now rules our souls in liberty;
 
The grace that has the wondrous work begun
 
Shall crown with glory when its mighty work is done.
