SALVATION THROUGH CHRIST.
               1  Truth, wisdom, justice, power and love,
                   In all their glory shone,
                 When Jesus left the courts above,
                   And died to save his own.
               5  Truth, wisdom, justice, power and love.
                   Are equally displayed.
                 Now Jesus reigns enthroned above
                   Our Advocate and Head.
               6  Now sin appears deserving death,
                   Most hateful and abhorred ;
                And yet the sinner lives by faith,
                   And dares approach the Tord.
               174               C. M.
                            Complete salvation.
               1  C ALVATION through our dying God
                    Is finished and complete ;
                He paid what’er his people owed,
                  And cancelled all their debt.
              2  He sends his Spirit from above,
                  Our nature to renew ;
                Displays his power, reveals his love,
                  Gives life and comfort too.
              3  He heals our wounds, subdues our foes,
                  And shows our sins forgiven ;
                Conducts us through the wilderness,
                  And brings us safe to heaven.
              4  Salvation now shall be my stay ;
                  ‘A sinner saved,’ I 11 cry ;
                Then gladly quit this mortal clay,
                  For better joys on high.
