2 'Tis he adorn'd my naked soul, 3 And, lest the shadow of a spot 4 The Spirit's fruit is faith, and love, But Christ by his obedience wrought 5 How well, my soul, art thou array'd 2 387. Salvation by Grace. s.M. By grace ye are saved.—EPHESIANS ii. 5. GRACE! 'tis a charming sound, Heav'n with the echo shall resound, Grace first contriv'd a way To save rebellious man, And all the steps that grace display, 3 4 Grace taught our wand'ring feet And new supplies each hour we meet, Grace all the work shall crown It lays in heav'n the topmost stone, 388. Grace the source of every thing good in the Believer. C.M. Thou hast wrought all our works in us.-ISAIAH xxvi. 12. 1 FATHER, to thee my soul I lift, 2 Mercy and grace are thine alone, 3 We cannot speak one gracious word, Thyself the blessing give. 4 Thou all our works in us hast wrought; Our good is all divine; The praise of every holy thought 5 From thee, through Jesus, we receive In thee our God we move and live: 389.
