Lord, Thou Hast Won

Lord

Thou hast won

at length I yield

My heart

by migh­ty grace com­pelled

Surrenders all to Thee;

Against Thy ter­rors long I strove

But who can stand against Thy love?

Love con­quers ev­en me.

All that a wretch could do

I tried

Thy pa­tience scorned

Thy pow­er de­fied

And tram­pled on Thy laws;

Scarcely Thy mar­tyrs at the stake

Could stand more stead­fast for Thy sake

Than I in Sa­tan’s cause.

But since Thou hast Thy love re­vealed

And shown my soul a par­don sealed

I can re­sist no more:

Couldst Thou for such a sin­ner bleed?

Canst Thou for such a re­bel plead?

I won­der and ad­ore!

If Thou hadst bid Thy thun­ders roll

And lightn­ings flash to blast my soul

I still had stub­born been:

But mer­cy has my heart sub­dued

A bleed­ing Sav­ior I have viewed

And now

I hate my sin.

Now

Lord

I would be Thine alone

Come take pos­sess­ion of Thine own

For Thou hast set me free;

Released from Sa­tan’s hard com­mand

See all my pow­ers wait­ing stand

To be em­ployed by Thee.

My will con­formed to Thine would move

On Thee my hope

de­sire

and love

In fixed at­ten­tion join;

My hands

my eyes

my ears

my tongue

Have Sa­tan’s serv­ants been too long

But now they shall be Thine.

And can I be the ve­ry same

Who late­ly durst blas­pheme Thy name

And on Thy Gos­pel tread?

Surely each one

who hears my case

Will praise Thee

and con­fess Thy grace

Invincible in­deed!
