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.

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.
