Lyics

FREE from the law, O happy condition!

Jesus hath bled, and there is remission;

Curs'd by the law, and bruis'd by the fall,

Grace hath redeem'd us once for all.--CHO.



Chorus.--Once for all, O sinner receive it!

	Once for all, O brother, believe it!

	Cling to the cross, the burden will fall,

	Christ hath redeem'd 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 glorious calling!

Surely His grace will keep us from falling;

Passing from death to life at His call,

Blessed salvation once for all.--CHO.
