Jude: Space to repent without the power

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 13 (1872)

Religion

Space to repent without the power,
Lord, what would it avail?
But grace attends the added hour
To turn the hovering scale:
If still I slight Thy proffer'd grace,
The fault is mine alone;
Yet if Thy mercy I embrace,
The praise is all Thine own.
