SALVATION THROUGH CHRIST.
175 L. M.
2Vo trust in creatures.
1 ft/l Y spirit looks to God alone,
IV1 My rock and refuge is his throne;
In all my fears in all my straits
My soul on his salvation waits.
2 Trust him, ye saints, in all your ways
Pour out your hearts before his face ;
When helpers fail, and foes invade,
God is our all-sufficient aid.
3 Make not increasing gold your trust,
Nor set your hearts on glittering dust;
Why will you grasp the fleeting smoke,
And not believe what God has spoke ?
4 Once has his awful voice declared,
Once and again my ears have heard:
‘ All power is his eternal due,
He must be feared and trusted too.’
5 For sovereign power reigns not alone,
Grace is a partner of the throne :
Thy grace and justice, mighty Lord,
Shall well divide our last reward.
176 8s, 8s, 8s, and 6s.
Salvation realized in experience.
1 C ALVATION ! O mysterious plan !
0 Nor saints nor angels ever can
Unfold the love of God to man,
The boundless love of Jesus.
On Calvary’s scenes I wondering gaze,
And raise to heaven the voice of praise
But O how faint are mortal lays,
To speak the love of Jesus!
