1 Grace taught our friends to know
What rebels they had been;
’Twas grace redeemed them from their woe,
And made their conscience clean.
2 Grace taught them to commune
With Christ the Lamb once slain;
To hate the sins that made him mourn,
And put his soul to pain.
3 Grace taught their souls to sing
Salvation through his blood;
Through grace they loved him as their King,
Their Saviour, and their God.
4 Grace must and will relieve
From such a waste as this,
All souls that in the Lord believe,
And take them to his bliss.
