All that we were—our sin, our guilt (Hymn 31)

Verse 1: All that we were—our sin, our guilt, Our death—was all our own: All that we are we owe to Thee, Thou God of grace alone. Verse 2: Thy mercy found us in our sins, And gave us to believe; Then, in believing, peace we found, And in Thy Christ we live. Verse 3: All that we are, as saints on earth, All that we hope to be, When Jesus comes and glory dawns, We owe it all to Thee. Verse 4: O God, how rich, how vast Thy love, Whoe'er can Thee repay? Thy love is past man's finding out, Thy grace no man can say. Verse 5: But Lord, to me I pray Thee grant, More clearly may I see, That I may e'er more fully know How much I owe to Thee. Verse 6: But if man's heart should e'er suppose He could repay Thy love, It only means he nothing knows Of love, all loves above. Verse 7: So may we never bargains make With that dear love of Thine: The love that made Thine heart once break, Whoe'er that love could win? Verse 8: Then nevermore suggest return, His love is far too high; But let our hearts with rapture burn That He for us should die. Verse 9: O Father God, we owe Thee all! All that we are and have! With grateful thanks before Thee fall, ’Tis all that we can give.
