Knowing We Know

Tune: Solothurn

('Now let us from this table rise')

1 John 5 v.14, 15, 18-20

**********

This is the confidence that we

Have in Christ, if we do ask, see

Anything that is according

To His will, He hears us, each thing

 

And if we know that He us hears

Whatsoever we ask, no fears

We know we have the petitions

That we desired of Him, each one

 

We know that whosoever is

Born of God sins not, true is this

Sins not habitually, but when

We sin, we have Advocate then

 

They that are of God begotten

They keep themselves from sin, and then

The wicked one touches them not

They fall not to his sinful lot

 

And we know we are of God, us

And the whole world in wickedness

And we know that Jesus, God's Son

Has come, revealed unto each one

 

He gives us an understanding

That we may know Him in each thing

He that is true, we in Him be

And in God, [this is] life eternally
