2 From thy good Grace, 'tis that, O Lord, Which doth preserve from sin All graceless Sinners odious stink, So filthy are within,
3 That all their inward parts corrupt, And they like Carrion lye ⟨p. 239⟩In a vile Ditch, or Common-shore, In their iniquity.
4 But such in whom Gods Grace is wrought, Grace does their Souls preserve From sin, in heart, in life, in thought, Uprightly God to serve.
5 Most sweet are they and savoury To God and unto Men, And all their works they have performed By Grace have seasoned been.
5 Most sweet are they and savoury To God and unto Men, And all their works they have perform'd By Grace have season'd been.
