By A Collection of Hymns

      6-8s.
      1 WHAT am I, O thou glorious God!
      And what my father's house to thee,
      That thou such mercies hast bestowed
      On me, the chief of sinners, me!
      I take the blessing from above,
      And wonder at thy boundless love.

      2 Me in my blood thy love passed by,
      And stopped, my ruin to retrieve;
      Wept o'er my soul thy pitying eye,
      Thy bowels yearned, and sounded "Live!"
      Dying, I heard the welcome sound,
      And pardon in thy mercy found.

      3 Honour, and might, and thanks, and praise,
      I render to my pardoning God,
      Extol the riches of thy grace,
      And spread thy saving name abroad,
      That only name to sinners given,
      Which lifts poor dying worms to heaven.

      4 Jesus, I bless thy gracious power,
      And all within me shouts thy name;
      Thy name let every soul adore,
      Thy power let every tongue proclaim;
      Thy grace let every sinner know,
      And find with me their heaven below.
