‘Tis the gift of forgiveness, ‘tis a gift to be free,
‘Tis the greatest gift, my Savior pardoned me.
My Lord Jesus gave the best gift divine,
Only by His grace this gift is mine.
Refrain
This then my glad refrain,
To bow at Thy feet, I will not be ashamed;
To turn, turn from sin to the light,
Is my heart’s desire and my soul’s true delight.
O dear Lord, guide my footsteps as I live day by day,
Incline my heart to serve Thee, I pray.
And, Lord, help me always Thy Word to obey
And remember the gift I can never repay.
Refrain
Every good gift and perfect comes down from above,
From the Father of Lights and Lord of Love,
Who cares for His children and will take everyone
Of His sheep, He will not lose even one.
Refrain
O then how can we thank Thee, what words can express?
So, we bow in humble thankfulness,
To God Who has given the best gift from above,
His mercy, grace and boundless love.
