John 1:43: O THE riches of Thy grace
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
O THE riches of Thy grace!
Grace surpassing all our thought,
Grace transcending all our praise.
Finding those who sought Thee not!
Grace doth more than sin abound.
For a world of sinners free:
Me, their guilty chief, it found.
Drew my heart to follow Thee.
Master of my heart and will,
Both are in Thy gracious hand,
Seek, and call, and draw me still
Subject to Thy mild command.
Then I after Thee shall run
On the wings of faith and love.
Find Thee, Saviour, on Thy throne,
Glorify Thy grace above.
