Salvation Free
Words: Rev. William J. KirkpatrickMusic: Wm. J. KirkpatrickTune: Free Grace8, 7, 8, 7, D.
1Free from the law, O happy condition! Jesus hath bled, and there is remission; Cursed by the law and bruised by the fall, Grace hath redeemed us once for all.
RefrainOnce for all, O sinner, receive it! Once for all, O brother, believe it! Cling to the cross, the burden will fall, Christ hath redeemed us once for all.
2Now are we free, there's no condemnation, Jesus provides a perfect salvation; Come unto him, O hear his sweet call, Come, and he saves us once for all.
3Children 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.
