SALVATION THROUGH CHRIST.
Who died for poor sinners of whom I am one,
Which love seemed to ease me when lost
and undone.
6 It is my desire to follow the Lord,
To tread in his footsteps, obeying his word,
But O how unworthy, I’m sure all may see,
I am a desciple of Jesus to be.
7 My great imperfections oft make me to doubt,
Tho’ Jesus has promised he will not cast out;
Yet one thing revives me, when brought to
the test,
Of all my eyes see I love Christians the best.
? I know I love Christians wherever they be,
Yet ofttimes am fearing they cannot love me;
For I am imperfect, and cannot do good,
For sin’s present with me when freely I
would.
9 Now be not deceived, I’ve told you the
truth,
If e’er I believed, it was in my youth ;
Now tell me your feelings, say, can it be sc,
You think from my savings that Jesus j
know ?

SALVATION THROUGH CHRIST.

Salvation.

O To wretched dying men I
Salvation that from God proceeds,
And leads to God again.
