Tune: St Timothy
('O Holy Ghost, thy people bless')
Ephesians 2 v.8-13 parts
For St Paul's Day: Jan 25.
**********
For by grace are you saved through faith
It is as God's word saith
And that is not of yourselves, see
It the gift of God be
Not of human works, lest any
Should boast good deeds many
For we are God's workmanship, we
Created in Christ be
Created for good works, God, he
Has before ordained, see
That we should do them, ready they
To be done in each day
You once were outside salvation
But now God's daughter, son
Sometime you were far off, now near
Christ's blood shed for you here

A pledge of belief, a faith. What we believe becomes true in our eyes and mind and what else is there? Most lovely
Thank you SB.
I remember the hymnal version of this! Not of works, not of works, not of works//
Thank you A.
