     1 And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying, 2 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. 3 So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days’ journey. 4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.

     5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.(KJV)

1. Lord, we confess our numerous faults; 
How great our guilt has been, 
How vain and foolish all our thoughts, 
And all our lives were sin. 

2. But, O my soul, forever praise, 
Forever love, His name 
Who turns thy feet from dangerous ways 
Of folly, sin, and shame. 

3. ‘Tis not by works of righteousness 
Which our own hands have done, 
But we are saved by God’s free grace 
Abounding through His Son. 

4. ‘Tis from the mercy of our God 
That all our hopes begin; 
‘Tis by the Water and the Blood 
Our souls are washed from sin. 

5. ‘Tis through the purchase of His death 
Who hung upon the tree 
The Spirit is sent down to breathe 
On such dry bones as we. 

6. Raised from the dead, we live anew; 
And justified by grace. 
We shall appear in glory, too, 
And see our Father’s face.
