Seigneur, Tu Donnes Ta Grace

Representative Text

1 Seigneur, tu donnes ta grâce
Au coeur qui regarde à toi:
Ah! que sa douce efficace
Se rèpande aussi sur moi!
Oui, sur moi! Oui, sur moi!
Se rèpande aussi sur moi!

2 Père tendre et secourable,
Je fus rebelle à ta loi;
Quoique impur et secourable,
Oh! pardonne et bénis-moi!
Bénis-moi! Bénis-moi!
Oh! pardonne et bénis-moi!

3 Rédempteur toujours propice,
Je veux m’attacher à toi;
J’ai faim, j’ai soif de justice;
Je t’appelle, réponds-moi!
Réponds-moi! Réponds-moi!
Je t’appelle, réponds-moi!

4 Saint-Esprit, souffle de vie,
Viens en mon coeur par la foi!
Dans le sang qui purifie,
De tout péché lave-moi!
Lave-moi! Lave-moi!
De tout péché lave-moi!

5 Par ton amour, ô bon Père,
Par le sang versé pour moi,
Par l’Esprit qui seul opère,
Dieu trois fois saint, sauve-moi!
Sauve-moi! Sauve-moi!
Dieu trois fois saint, sauve-moi!
