CHAPTER VII. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley | ||
1291.
[Who is this that sin forgives?]
Who is this that forgiveth sins?
—vii. 49.
Who is this that sin forgives?
A mere mortal sinful man,
Who his power from Rome receives,
Forms, and absolutions vain?
No; the power is God's alone;
God it is that justifies,
He who did for sin atone,
He the precious grace applies.

No; the power is God's alone;
God it is that justifies,
He who did for sin atone,
He the precious grace applies.
Who is this that sin forgives,
Now as yesterday the same?
Ask the sinner that believes,
Well he knows his Saviour's name;
Jesus bought the grace with blood,
Our infallible High-Priest,
Jesus is our pardoning God,
God supreme for ever bless'd.
