SALVATION THROUGH CHRIST.
    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 compared 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.
     173               C. M.
             The covenant sealed by Justice,
    1  O ALVATION, what a glorious plan !
          How suited to our need.
      The grace that raises fallen man,
        Is wonderful indeed.
    2  ’Twas wisdom formed the vast design
        To ransom us when lost,
      And love’s unfathomable mine,
        Provided all the cost.
     3  Strict justice, with approving look,
        The holy covenant sealed ;
      And truth and power undertook
        The whole should be fulfilled.
