100. All that I was, my sin, my guilt

1 All that I was, my sin, my guilt,
My death, was all my own;
All that I am I owe to Thee,
My gracious God, alone.

2 The evil of my former state
Was mine, and only mine;
The good in which I now rejoice
Is Thine, and only Thine.

3 The darkness of my former state,
The bondage--all was mine:
The light of life in which I walk,
The liberty--is Thine.

4 Thy grace first made me feel my sin,
And taught me to believe:
Then, in believing, peace I found,
And now I live, I live!

5 All that I am e'en here on earth,
All that I hope to be
When Jesus comes and glory dawns--
I owe it, Lord, to Thee.
