Augustus Montague Toplady's Hymn: Celebrating Everlasting Divine Grace ✨

Fountain of never ceasing grace, <br />Thy saints’ exhaustless theme, <br />Great object of immortal praise, <br />Essentially supreme; <br />We bless Thee for the glorious fruits <br />Thine incarnation gives; <br />The righteousness which grace imputes, <br />And faith alone receives. <br /> <br />Whom heaven’s angelic host adores, <br />Was slaughtered for our sin; <br />The guilt, O Lord was wholly ours, <br />The punishment was Thine: <br />Our God in the flesh, to set us free, <br />Was manifested here; <br />And meekly bare our sins, that we <br />His righteousness might wear. <br /> <br />Imputatively guilty then <br />Our substitute was made, <br />That we the blessings might obtain <br />For which His blood was shed: <br />Himself He offered on the cross, <br />Our sorrows to remove; <br />And all He suffered was for us, <br />And all He did was love. <br /> <br />In Him we have a righteousness, <br />By God Himself approved; <br />Our rock, our sure foundation this, <br />Which never can be moved. <br />Our ransom by His death He paid, <br />For all His people giv’n, <br />The law He perfectly obeyed, <br />That they might enter heav’n. <br /> <br />As all, when Adam sinned alone, <br />In his transgression died, <br />So by the righteousness of One, <br />Are sinners justified, <br />We to Thy merit, gracious Lord, <br />With humblest joy submit, <br />Again to Paradise restored, <br />In Thee alone complete. <br /> <br />Our souls His watchful love retrieves, <br />Nor lets them go astray, <br />His righteousness to us He gives, <br />And takes our sins away: <br />We claim salvation in His right, <br />Adopted and forgiv’n, <br />His merit is our robe of light, <br />His death the gate of heav’n.<br /><br />Augustus Montague Toplady<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fountain-of-never-ceasing-grace/
