Hymns

Salvation by grace, how charming the song!

by John Kent·1814·Meter 104th

Based on Zeph 3:17; Ps 89:33

1

Salvation by grace, how charming the song!
With seraphim join the theme to prolong;
'Twas planned by Jehovah in council above,
Who to everlasting shall rest in his love.

2

This covenant of grace all blessings secures;
Believers, rejoice, for all things are yours;
And God from his purpose shall never remove,
But love thee, and bless thee, and rest in his love.

3

But when, like a sheep that strays from the fold,
To Jesus thy Lord thy love shall grow cold,
Think not he'll reject thee, howe'er he reprove;
For though he correct thee, he'll rest in his love.

4

In Jesus, the Lamb, the Father's delight,
The saints without blame appear in his sight;
And while he in Jesus their souls shall approve,
So long shall Jehovah abide in his love.
