5 The things that were not, His mercy bids live ; His mercy un bought We freely receive ; His gracious compassion We thankfully prove, And all our salvation Ascribe to his love.

Thou my debt of death hast paid ; Thou hast raised me from my fall ; Thou hast full atonement made : My Saviour died for all. 2 What could my Redeemer move To leave his Father's breast ? Pity drew him from above, And would not let him rest : Swift to succour sinking man,
