John 15:3: Now ye are clean through the word

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)

Religion

The word of pardoning grace
If I have heard from Thee,
And did by faith embrace
And am from sin set free;
The word did then my change begin,
True holiness impart;
And still Thy Spirit works within,
And purifies my heart.

The reconciling word
Thy cleansing blood applied.
And trusting in my Lord
My soul is sanctified:
And if I still abide in Thee,
Thou wilt my faith increase,
And bless with spotless purity,
With perfect holiness.
