Ephesians 2:8: By grace are ye saved through faith

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 13 (1872)

Religion

Father, we give Thee all the praise,
Thy mercy, love, and causeless grace,
The Source of our salvation own;
But that which Jesu's blood applies,
Absolves, and wholly sanctifies,
"Is faith, almighty faith alone:

And when our faith in vision ends,
And when the spotless bride ascends,
We shall repeat the song above,
Our Saviour on the throne proclaim,
Saved by the Father, and the Lamb,
For ever happy in Thy love.
