LyicsHow can a sinner know
His sins on earth forgiven?
How does the gracious Saviour show
His name inscribed in heaven?
What we have learned of God,
With confidence we tell;
And publish to the world abroad,
His word--infallible.
They who in Christ believe,
To his commands submit;
Remission of their sins receive,
As taught in Holy Writ.
Their captive spirits freed
From sin's destructive power,
They now the sacred pages read,
With pleasure and with prayer,
To all obedient hearts
The holy Spirit's given:
It life, and joy, and peace imparts,
The earnest pledge of heaven.
