All Due to Grace

All that I was, my sin my guilt,

My death was all mine own;

All that I am, I owe to Thee,

My gracious God, alone.

 

The evil of my former state

Was mine, and only mine;

The good in which I now rejoice

Is Thine, and only Thine.

 

The darkness of my former state,

The bondage – all was mine;

The light of life in which I walk,

The liberty – is Thine.

 

Thy grace that made me feel my sin

It taught me to believe;

Then, in believing, peace I found,

And now I live, I live.

 

All that I am, e’en here on earth,

All that I hope to be,

When Jesus comes and glory dawns,

I owe it, Lord, to Thee.

 

– Horatius Bonar, 1856
