But if Grace Marks repent at last, And for her sins atone…
““But if Grace Marks repent at last, And for her sins atone, Then when she comes to die, she’ll stand At her Redeemer’s throne. At her Redeemer’s throne she’ll stand, And she’ll be cured of woe, And He her bloodied hands will wash, And she’ll be white as snow. And she will be as white as snow, And into Heaven will pass, And she will dwell in Paradise, In Paradise at last.””
