Where'er it is bestow'd!
It boasts of a celestial birth,
And is the gift of God!
2 Jesus it owns a King,
An all atoning Priest,
It claims no merit of its own,
But looks for all in Christ.
3 To him it leads the soul,
When fill'd with deep distress;
Flies to the fountain of his blood,
And trusts his righteousness.
4 Since 'tis thy work alone,
And that divinely free;
Lord, send the spirit of thy Son
To work this faith in me.
