Tho' dead in sin I once had lain

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CCLXXX (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Tho' dead in sin I once had lain, And void of life devine; I was by grace restor'd again, And Jesus now is mine. 2 His grace has made my soul alive, His graces from above, Cause me in faith and hope to thrive, And daily grow in love. 3 True holiness my heart desires, And holy I must be, A holy heart the Lord requires, His face in heav'n to see. 4 Tho' I had all my sins forgiv'n, But yet to vice a slave, And could possess the courts of heav'n, What comforts could I have? 5 Was I invited to a feast, And welcome to the place; Half naked, ragged, meanly dress'd, How could I show my face? 6 Such is the case with sinners too, Should they with angels dwell, Their just and holy God to view, Would prove to them a hell. 7 Grant me dear Lord thy spirit's pow'r, To make me pure in heart, Which makes me able to endure To see thee as thou art.
