231. Free from the Law, O Happy Condition

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

Refrain:
Once for all--O sinner, receive it;
Once for all--O brother, believe it;
Cling to the cross, the burden will fall,
Christ hath redeemed us once for all.

2 Now we are free--there's no condemnation,
Jesus provides a perfect salvation;
"Come unto Me," O hear His sweet call,
Come, and He saves us once for all. (Refrain)

3 Children of God, O glorious calling,
Surely His grace will keep us from falling;
Passing from death to life at His call,
Blessed salvation once for all. (Refrain)
