Liberty of the Gospel,
1 OME, Christians, be wise,
Learn your liberty to prize;
Each moment in virtue excel;
Since God has made you free,
Stand for your liberty,
And in Jesus you ever shall dwell.
2 Like strangers you rove,
While you seek a world above;
O let love to each other abound !
While surrounded with foes,
Who your liberty oppose,
Your succor in Jesus is found.
3 If faith you have possessed,
You have entered into rest;
But perfection you have not obtained;
Salvation’s before,
And the Lord has made it sure;
So your labor shall not be in vain.
4 For God is your friend,
And his love shall never end,
To protect you although you are few;
So you need not despair,
All your breaches he ’ll repair,
And fresh vigor and strength he’ll renew
5 He’s blessed you with peace,
And his love shall never cease;
He’s blessed you with his smiling charms
So look home and rejoice,
Wait for that inviting voice,
And ere long you shall be in his arms.
6 ’Twill be a happy day
When he calls us all away,
