Religion

Jesus the Lord hath set us free,
Redeem'd from all iniquity,
And raised His servants into sons.
We have redemption through His blood.
His holy church. His Spirit's abode,
His temple built with living stones!

He hath in us His name reveal'd.
His precious promises fulfill'd;
And lo, we into nothing fall,
Poor with eternal poverty
Goodness entire in Christ we see.
We feel that Christ is all in all!
