Free Grace. Rom 3. 24; 4. 16; 11. 6; Titus 3. 7

1 Ye children of God, by faith in his Son,
  Redeemed by his blood, and with him made one;
  This union with wonder and rapture be seen,
  Which nothing shall sunder, without or within.

2 This pardon, this peace, which none can destroy,
  This treasure of grace, this heavenly joy,
  The worthless may crave it; it always comes free;
  The vilest may have it, ’twas given to me.

3 ’Tis not for good deeds, good tempers, nor frames;
  >From grace it proceeds, and all is the Lamb’s;
  No goodness, no fitness, expects he from us;
  This I can well witness, for none could be worse.

4 Sick sinner, expect no balm but Christ’s blood;
  Thy own works reject, the bad and the good;
  None ever miscarry that on him rely,
  Though filthy as Mary, Manasseh, or I.
