Mark 16:16: By faith my pardon I receive

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)

Religion

By faith my pardon I receive.
Regenerate from above.
And still believing on, I live
The life of holy love;
And humbly faithful unto death
I shall through grace obtain
At Jesus' hands the' immortal wreath,
And in His glory reign.

We bow submissive to the will
Of an ordaining God,
Stamp'd with His sacramental seal
In the baptismal tlood;
His Spirit there the blood applies.
Which makes our conscience pure.
And in the water testifies
Our present pardon sure.
