CXXXVIII. THE SAME.

Hymn 36.

[Salvation is in Jesu's name]

Salvation is in Jesu's name
For all who Him receive:
To save the world from heaven He came,
That every soul might live.
Through grace we take the purchased grace,
We answer to His call,
The Saviour of mankind embrace,
My God who died for all.
His blood, we know, hath bought our peace,
We have no hope beside,
By His imputed righteousness
We all are justified.
Saved from the guilt and power of sin,
For Jesu's sake forgiven,
We trust to have the grace brought in,
The new-created heaven.
Forgetting still the things behind,
Toward the high prize we press,
And look the precious pearl to find,
The perfect holiness.
We shall be wholly sanctified,
As many as Christ receive,
As sure as He for us hath died,
He in our hearts shall live.
