Hymn 1:104 [Not The Malicious Or Profane]

Title:     Hymn 1:104 [Not The Malicious Or Profane]
Author: Isaac Watts [More Titles by Watts]

A state of nature and of grace, 1 Cor. 6. 10 11.

Not the malicious or profane,
The wanton or the proud,
Nor thieves, nor slanderers shall obtain
The kingdom of our God.

Surprising grace! and such were we
By nature and by sin,
Heirs of immortal misery,
Unholy and unclean.

But we are wash'd in Jesus' blood,
We're pardon'd thro' his Name;
And the good Spirit of our God
Has sanctify'd our frame.

O for a persevering power
To keep thy just commands!
We would defile our hearts no more,
No more pollute our hands.

[The end]
Isaac Watts's poem: Hymn 1:104 [not The Malicious Or Profane]
