Acts 15:11: But', ve that through the grace of the, &c

Not by a legal righteousness,
Or works ourselves have done,
But freely saved we are by grace
Through faith in Christ alone:
Our God is pleased to justify
Who in His Son believe;
And when we first on Him rely
The pardon we receive.

Through faith we then are saved by grace
From sin's oppressive power,
And pure in heart behold His face,
And God in Christ adore;
Through faith we claim His whole desert,
And in His image shine,
Created after His own heart
In holiness Divine.

The power of efficacious love
In each believing soul
Doth all remains of sin remove,
And sanctify the whole:
And thus prepared with God to live
We lay our bodies down,
And faith's triumphant end receive
In an immortal crown.
