- 1How can a sinner know
- His sins on earth forgiven?
- How can my gracious Saviour show
- My name inscribed in heaven?
- 2What we have felt and seen
- With confidence we tell;
- And publish to the sons of men
- The signs infallible.
- 3We who in Christ believe
- That he for us hath died,
- We all his unknown peace receive,
- And feel his blood applied.
- 4Exults our rising soul,
- Disburdened of her load,
- And swells unutterably full
- Of glory and of God.
- 5His love, surpassing far
- The love of all beneath,
- We find within our heart, and dare
- The pointless darts of death.
- 6Stronger than death or hell,
- The sacred power we prove;
- And, conqu'rors of the world, we dwell
- In heaven, who dwell in love.
