CONVICTION AND CONVERSION.
1 But, when depressed and lost in sin,
My dear Redeemer took me in,
And with his blood he washed me clean
And O what seasons I have seen,
Since first I felt this union !
5 I now with saints can join to sing,
And mount on faith’s triumphant wing,
And make the heavenly arches ring
With loud hosannas to our King,
Who gave us heavenly union.
G O come, backsliders, come away,
And learn to do as well as say ;
Come, mind to watch as well as pray,
And bear your cross from day to day,
And then you’ll feel this union.
7 Come, heaven and earth, unite your lays,
And give to Jesus endless praise;
And, O my soul, look on and gaze,
He bleeds, he dies, thy debt he pays,
To give thee heavenly union.

8 O could I, like an angel sound
Salvation through the earth around,
The devil’s kingdom to confound,
I’d triumph on Emmanuel’s ground,
And spread this glorious union.

9 Almighty God, each heart and tongue
To thee shall raise a grateful song ;
All praises to thy name belong ;
Let Zion sing, ‘ Thy kingdom come,
And fill the world with union.’
