Worship for September 2017: “Not To Ourselves We Owe” (Augustus Toplady)

September 2017 — Grace & Truth Magazine

Not To Ourselves We Owe

Not to ourselves we oweThat we, O God, are Thine;Jesus the Lord, our night broke through,And gave us light divine. >The Father’s grace and loveThis blessed mercy gave,And Jesus left the throne above,His wandering sheep to save. >No more the heirs of wrath –Thy sovereign love we see;And Father, in confiding faithWe cast our souls on Thee. >Our hearts look up to seeThe glory Thou hast given,In spirit dwell where we shall beWith Christ, Thine heirs, in heaven. >With the adopted bandSoon shall we see Him there:With them and Him in glory stand,And in His honours share.By Augustus M. Toplady (1740-1778)
