SALVATION THROUGH CHRIST.
♦. Rescued from hell’s eternal gloom,
From fiends, and files and chains,
Raised to a paradise of bliss,
Where love triumphant reigns.
3 But may a poor bewildered soul,
Sinful and weak as mine,
Presume to raise a trembling eye
To blessings so divine ?
I The lustre of so bright a bliss
My feeble heart o’erbears,
And unbelief almost perverts
The promise into tears.
5 My Saviour, God, no voice but thine
These dying hopes can raise ;
Speak thy salvation to my soul,
And turn my prayer to praise.

Salvation by Christ.
ALVATION is for ever nigh
S The souls that fear and trust the lord .
And grace descending from on high,
Fresh hopes of glory shall afford.
2 Mercy and truth on earth are met,
Since Christ the Lord came down from
By his obedience, so complete, [heaven i
Justice is pleased, and peace is given.
3 Now truth and honor shall abound,
Religion dwell on earth again,
And heavenly influence bless the ground,
In our Redeemer’s gentle reign.
I His righteousness is gone before,
To give us free access to God ;
