LyicsFree from the law,
O hap-py con-di-tion!
Je-sus hath bled, and there is re-mis-sion;
Cursed by the law, and bruised by the fall,
Grace hath redeemed us once for all.
CHO.- Once for all!
O sinner, receive it;
Once for all!
O broth-er, be-lieve it;
Cling to the cross: the burden will fall,
Christ hath redeemed us once for all.
Now are we free-there's no condemnation,
Jesus provides a perfect salvation;
"Come unto me:" O hear his sweet call;
Come, and he saves us once for all.-Cho.
"Children of God," O glor-i-ous calling!
Surely his grace will keep us from falling;
Passing from death to life at his call,
Blessed salvation, once for all!-Cho.
