Let Us Adore the Grace That Seeks

lyricist: John Newton, 1779
Composer: Thomas Haweis, 1792

Let us adore the grace that seeks

To draw our hearts above!

Attend

’tis God the Sav­ior speaks

And ev­ery word is love.

Though filled with awe

be­fore His throne

Each an­gel veils his face;

He claims a peo­ple for His own

Amongst our sin­ful race.

Careless

awhile

they live in sin

Enslaved to Sa­tan’s pow­er;

But they ob­ey the call di­vine

In His ap­point­ed hour.

Come forth

He says

no more pur­sue

The paths that lead to death;

Look up

a bleed­ing Sav­ior view

Look

and be saved by faith.

My sons and daugh­ters you shall be

Through the aton­ing blood;

And you shall claim

and find

in Me

A fa­ther

and a God.

Lord

speak these words to ev­ery heart

By Thine all-pow­er­ful voice;

That we may now from sin de­part

And make Thy love our choice.

If now

we learn to seek Thy face

By Christ

the liv­ing way;

We’ll praise Thee for this hour of grace

Through an eter­nal day.
