10964. Let Us Adore The Grace That Seeks

1 Let us adore the grace that seeks
To draw our hearts above!
Attend, ’tis God the Savior speaks,
And every word is love.

2 Though filled with awe, before His throne
Each angel veils his face;
He claims a people for His own
Amongst our sinful race.

3 Careless, awhile, they live in sin,
Enslaved to Satan’s power;
But they obey the call divine,
In His appointed hour.

4 "Come forth," He says, "no more pursue
The paths that lead to death;
Look up, a bleeding Savior view,
Look, and be saved by faith."

5 "My sons and daughters you shall be
Through the atoning blood;
And you shall claim, and find, in Me,
A father, and a God."

6 Lord, speak these words to every heart,
By Thine all-powerful voice;
That we may now from sin depart,
And make Thy love our choice.

7 If now, we learn to seek Thy face
By Christ, the living way;
We’ll praise Thee for this hour of grace,
Through an eternal day.
