Just and holy is Thy name; I am all unrighteousness False and full of sin I am; Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound; Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the Fountain art, Freely let me take of Thee; Spring Thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity. Amen. Used With Tune: REFUGE

Oh, come with blissful ray; Break radiant through the shades of night, And chase my fears away. 6 Then shall my soul with rapture trace The wonders of thy love: But the full glories of thy face Are only known above.
