331. Once for All

1. Free from the law, oh, happy condition!
Jesus has bled, and there is remission;
Cursed by the law and bruised by the fall,
Grace has redeemed us once for all.

Refrain:
Once for all, oh, sinner receive it;
Once for all, oh, child, believe it;
Cling to the cross, the burden will fall;
Christ has redeemed us, once for all.

2. Now we are free, there's no condemnation;
Jesus provides a perfect salvation;
Come unto me, oh, hear his sweet call;
Come, and he saves us, once for all. [Refrain]

3. Children of God! oh, glorious calling!
Surely his grace will keep us from falling,
Passing from death to life at his call;
Blessed salvation, once for all. [Refrain]
