“He that believeth … hath everlasting life.” John 6. 47

1 Saved is the sinner that believes,
  The sacred gospel annals show;
  To him repentance Jesus gives,
  And sin’s complete remission too.

2 He hears the Spirit’s voice within;
  A sacred ray breaks on his eyes;
  He bursts at once the sleep of sin,
  And naked now to Jesus flies.

3 Sprinkled with blood his conscience is;
  He feels the sweets of sin forgiven;
  While Jesus’ spotless righteousness
  Becomes his meetness now for heaven.

4 Jesus, thy Godhead, blood, and name,
  O! ’tis eternal life to know;
  Here let my soul her hold maintain,
  When pressed by conscience, wrath, or law.

5 Sin-burdened soul, with tempest tossed,
  Thy bark shall every storm outride;
  Grace once received can ne’er be lost,
  Nor hell from Christ thy soul divide.
