Salvation at the Cross. (492)

Oh, wondrous, deep, unbounded love,
  My Savior, can it be
That thou hast borne the crown of thorns
  And suffered death for me?

Cho.—­At the cross, at the cross, where I first saw the light
        And, the burden of my heart rolled away—­
      It was there by faith I received my sight,
        And now I am happy all the day.

2 I kneel, repenting, at thy feet,
  I give myself to thee;
I plead thy merits, thine alone,
  For thou hast died for me.

3 Oh, let me plunge beneath the tide,
  For sinners flowing free,
Then rise, renewed by grace divine,
  And shout salvation free.

4 And when I reach thy place above,
  My sweetest notes will be,
Redemption through a Savior’s name,
  Who bled and died for me.

     Fanny Crosby, 1873.

245 Saved by Faith.  P.M.

Justified by Faith.

I have found redemption in the Savior’s blood,
  I am saved by faith in his blood, in his blood;
I am sweetly trusting in the word of God
  I am saved by faith in his blood.

Cho.—­I am saved, yes, sweetly saved,
      I am saved by faith in the blood he shed for me,
      I am saved, yes, sweetly saved,
      I am saved by faith in his blood.

2 Oh, how sweet the story of his wondrous grace, I am saved by faith in his blood, in his blood; I will trust in Jesus while I run my race, I am saved by faith in his blood.

3 I will sing of Jesus while the days go by, I am saved by faith in his blood, in his blood; I will trust his promise, on his strength rely, I am saved by faith in his blood.

4 I will keep on singing as I march along, I am saved by faith in his blood, in his blood; In my home in glory this shall be my song, I am saved by faith in his blood.

246 Only Trust Him.  C.M.

Peace in Believing.

Come, ev’ry soul by sin oppressed,
  There’s mercy with the Lord;
And he will surely give you rest
  By trusting in his word.

Cho.—­Only trust him, only trust him,
        Only trust him now;
      He will save you, he will save you,
        He will save you now.

2 For Jesus shed his precious blood
  Rich blessings to bestow;
Plunge now into the crimson flood
  That washes white as snow.

3 Yes, Jesus is the Truth, the Way,
  That leads you into rest;
Believe in him without delay,
  And you are fully blest.

4 Come, then, and join this holy band,
  And on to glory go,
To dwell in that celestial land,
  Where joys immortal flow.

247 Is My Name Written There?  P.M.

The Book of Life.

Lord, I care not for riches,
  Neither silver nor gold;
I would make sure of heaven,
  I would enter the fold. 
In the book of thy kingdom,
  With its pages so fair,
Tell me, Jesus, my Savior,
  Is my name written there?
