Acts 4:12: Be it to all the nations known
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Be it to all the nations known,
Salvation is in Christ alone!
Jesus did every soul redeem,
And all the saved are saved by Him;
His only name can cancel sin,
His only blood can wash us clean.
Believing into Jesus' name
Through grace already saved I am,
I have redemption in His blood,
I have the peace and life of God;
The Spirit doth His mind impart,
And plant His nature in my heart.
Sinners, believe, and now be free
From sin, and Satan's tyranny,
From earth, and curse, and death, and fear,
Redeem'd by faith in Jesus here;
His name, His love, His nature given,
Plucks you from hell, and lifts to heaven.
