Salvation by Grace in Christ. 2 Tim. 1. 9, 10

1 Now to the power of God supreme
  Be everlasting honour given;
  He saves from hell (we bless his name),
  He calls our wandering feet to heaven.

2 [Not for our duties or deserts,
  But of his own abounding grace,
  He works salvation in our hearts,
  And forms a people for his praise.]

3 ’Twas his own purpose that began
  To rescue rebels doomed to die;
  He gave us grace in Christ his Son,
  Before he spread the starry sky.

4 Jesus the Lord appears at last,
  And makes his Father’s counsels known;
  Declares the great transactions past,
  And brings immortal blessings down.

5 [He dies! and in that dreadful night
  Did all the powers of hell destroy.
  Rising, he brought our heaven to light,
  And took possession of the joy.]
