“There is forgiveness with thee.” Ps. 130. 4

1 Forgiveness! ’tis a joyful sound
  To malefactors doomed to die;
  Lord, may this bliss in me be found;
  May I redeeming grace enjoy.

2 ’Tis the rich gift of love divine;
  ’Tis full, out-measuring every crime;
  Unclouded shall its glories shine,
  And feel no change by changing time.

3 O’er sins unnumbered as the sand,
  And like the mountains for their size,
  The seas of sovereign grace expand,
  The seas of sovereign grace arise.

4 For this stupendous love of heaven,
  What grateful honours shall we show?
  Where much transgression is forgiven,
  May love in equal ardour glow.
