Text: | Free Salvation |
1 Jesus is our great salvation'
Worthy of our best esteem!
He has sav'd his favorite nation;
Join to sing aloud to him:
He has sav'd us,
Christ alone could us redeem.
2 When involv'd in sin and ruin,
And no helper there was found;
Jesus our distress was viewing:
Grace did more than sin abound:
He has call'd us,
With salvation in the sound.
3 Save us from a mere profession,
Save us from hypocrisy;
Give us, Lord, the sweet possession
Of thy righteousness and thee:
Best of favors,
None compar'd with this can be.
4 Let us never, Lord, forget thee!
Make us walk as pilgrims here:
We will give thee all the glory,
Of the love that brought us near;
Bid us praise thee,
And rejoice with holy fear.
5 Free election, known by calling,
Is a privilege divine:
Saints are kept from final falling,
All the glory, Lord, be thine.
All the glory,
All the glory, Lord, is thine.
