Justifying Grace Repentance Sanctifying Grace
Nothing have I to plead ; Unto dogs it is not right To cast the children's bread : Yet the dogs the crumbs may eat, That from the master's table fall : Let the fragments be my meat ; Thy grace is free for all. 5 Give me, Lord, the victory, My heart's desire fulfil : Conv in ced of Sin . Jul Let it now be done to me According to my will ! Give me living bread to eat, And say, in answer to my call, " Canaanite, thy faith is great ! My grace is free for all." 6 If thy grace foi all is free, Thy call now let me hear ; Show this token upon me, And bring salvation near : Now the gracious word repeat, The word of healing to my soul ct Canaanite, thy faith is great ! Thy faith hath made thee whole. JOME, holy, celestial Dove, To visit a sorrowful breast, My burden of guilt to remove, And bring me assurance and rest !
