Thy Blood, Thy Grace, Thy Love

I saw the saved ones gather
On Heaven’s blessed shore

I saw the saved ones gather
On Heaven’s blessed shore
There stood a wondrous multitude
Who’d found salvation’s door

But who are these who days ago
Were drowning in their sin?
And now they are Christ’s Holy Bride
All cleansed and pure within!

My love reached down from Calvary
And swept them from hell’s fate
Even at life’s midnight hour
They found the narrow gate!

In sorrow they repented
And turned to ME for aid
They grasped that I upon the cross
Their penalties had paid

But many others did not turn
In sorrow to repent
They cried too late on Judgment Day
Too late their garments rent!

And who are these, I see the scars
Of suffering everywhere?
“My child, ‘tis I that chose their path
Their faith is strong and rare!

I watched as satan buffeted
When Stephen, John and Paul
And many others stood the test
They gave their very all”

My God-I feel so humbled
To stand amidst Thy own
Ah-but Thy blood, Thy Grace, Thy Love
For me too did atone.
