How long we 've been the heirs of grace
1
How long we 've been the heirs of grace!How long desired a crown to win!But still we have not reached the placeWhere we can say we 're free from sin.

We patient pray, and gladly sing,"Thy perfect will, O Lord, be done!"Our Captain will the victory bringWhich he for us has fairly won.

Our works as filthy rags appear,Except as humbly wrought in thee:Jesus, thy righteousness 't is clearOur righteousness at last must be.
