Songs of Praise and Salvation ‎#76

76. Repent and Believe

1 Redemption is offered by Jesus the Lord
To all who would pardon receive;
The terms of salvation laid down in God’s word
Are but to “Repent and believe.”

Refrain:
Reject Him no longer, but come as thou art.
In loving surrender give Jesus thy heart;
Salvation this moment from him to receive,
This all he requireth, “Repent and believe.”

2 Thou never couldst merit this wonderful gift,
Tho’ years thou shouldst struggle and try;
Think not of thy fitness, but think of the love
Which caused Him for sinners to die. [Refrain]

3 No sin could so blacken the fair page of life,
And cause thee God’s wrath to receive,
As scorning the love of His Son crucified,
Refusing on Him to believe. [Refrain]

4 A perfect salvation from Christ to receive
If thou with His terms will comply;
Repent and believe, and eternally live,
Refuse, and eternally die. [Refrain]
