201. We Fly Not Now From That All-seeing Eye

1
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.
2
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.
