God is love," I surely see
In His sacrifice for me:
By the blood of His own Lamb,
''From all sin " absolved I am.

He's before the face of God
In the value of His blood;
Trusting Him, in Him I'm there,
Ever, in God's eye, "all fair."

If I die while He's away,
"Better far" to go than stay,-
Sweet to rest with Him above,
Lost in wonder, praise and love.

When He comes, how blest to rise
And to meet Him in the skies!
This "vile body," changed, will be
Fashioned for eternity.

" Ever, ever with the Lord !"
"Ever, ever," precious word!
What a thought to "ever" be
With Him in eternity!

Nought of this "by works" I claim,
Sinner saved by grace I am;
All the praise is due to God,
And the Lamb who shed His blood.
