1 A debtor to mercy alone,
Nor fear, with God's righteousness on,
My person and off'rings to bring.
With me can have nothing to do;
2 The work which His goodness began,
The arm of His strength will complete;
Things future, nor things that are now,
Not all things below or above,
3 My name from the palms of His hands
Imprest on His heart, it remains
Yes! I to the end shall endure,
As sure as the earnest is giv'n;
