"Rocovering Grace"

A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in short meter)

"Recovering Grace"

1. Let saints who love the Lord,
Their joyful tribute bring;
The wonders of His love record,
And hallelujahs sing.

2. Uncircumcis'd, and dead,
With Adam's race we lay,
Descendants from a fallen head,
Fond of his wand'ring way.

3. But Jesus saw our state,
And from His lovely face,
Pity beam'd forth, divinely great,
In rays of pard'ning grace.

4. He all our sins forgives;
His voice the dead can raise;
'Tis by His touch the sinner lives,
And, His shall be the praise.

5. He quickens whom He will,
For He has life to give;
And whom He quickens none can kill;
They shall for ever live.
