95. Walking with God.

1 SINCE I've known a Savior's name,

And sin's strong fetters broke, Careful without care I am, Nor feel my easy yoke: Joyful now my faith to show, I find his service my reward; All the work I do below

Is light, for such a Lord.

2 To the desert or the cell,
Let others blindly fly,
In this evil world I dwell,
Nor fear its enmity:
Here I find an house of prayer,
To which I inwardly retire;
Walking unconcern'd in care,
And unconsumed in fire.

30 that all the world might know

Of living, Lord, to thee, Find their heaven begun below, And here thy goodness see; Walk in all the works prepared By thee to exercise their grace, Till they gain their full reward, And see thee face to face.

96. Saved by Grace.

1 LET the world their virtue boast,

Their works of righteousness! I, a wretch undone and lost,

Am freely saved by grace; Other title I disclaim;

This, only this, is all my plea: I the chief of sinners am, But Jesus died for me.

2 Happy they whose joys abound, Like Jordan's swelling stream; Who their heaven in Christ have found,

And give the praise to him;
Meanest follower of the Lamb,
His steps I at a distance see;
I the chief of sinners am,
But Jesus died for me.

3 I, like Gideon's fleece, am
found,
Unwater'd still and dry;
While the dew on all around,
Falls plenteous from the sky;
Yet my Lord I cannot blame,
The Savior's grace for all is
free:

I the chief of sinners am,
But Jesus died for me.

4 Surely he will lift me up,

For I of him have need; I cannot give up my hope,

Though I am cold and dead; To bring fire on earth he came;

O that it now might kindled be! I the chief of sinners am,

But Jesus died for me.

5 Jesus, thou for me hast died, And thou in me wilt live; I shall feel thy death applied I shall thy life receive: Yet when melted in the flame Of love, this shall be all my plea,

I the chief of sinners am,

But Jesus died for me.
