A DEBTOR to mercy alone, Of covenant mercy I sing, Nor fear, with Thy righteousness on, My person and offering to bring The terrors of law and of Gods With me can have nothing to do My saviour’s obedience and blood Hide all my transgressions from view. 2 The work which His goodness began, The arm of His Strength will complete His promise is Yea and Amen And never was forfeited yet Things future, nor things that are now Nor all things below or above Can make Him His purpose forgo Or sever my soul from His love 3 My name from the palms of His hands Eternity will not erase Impressed on His heart it remains In marks of indelible grace Yes, I to the end shall endure As sure as the earnest is given More happy, but nor more secure The glorified spirit in heaven.
