Salvation Secured

Tune: Herongate

('It is a thing most wonderful')

Romans 5 v.6-11

*********

For when we were with strength without

Christ came unto our help, no doubt

At the right time He for us died

For us salvation did provide

We the ungodly, and scarcely

For a righteous person, so be

Will one die, yet maybe one dare

Die for a good person, but rare

But God to us His love commends

Towards us, love that never ends

In that while we were sinners still

Christ died for us, do Father's will

Much more now, being justified

By His blood, we in Him confide

And shall be saved from God's wrath through

Him who saves us from our sins true

Saved by Christ's death, who rose again

The living Saviour of all men* (*mankind)

God's only Son for us atones

For He does save, and He alone
