Faith Freedom - Galatians Series: 3

Tune: Solothurn

('Now let us from this table rise')

Galatians 3 v.23-29

********

Before faith came, we were kept sure

And guarded all under the law

Closed unto the faith, were confined

Until the days that God assigned

 

The days in which faith be revealed

'Til then the law to us appealed

Was our schoolmaster to us bring

To faith in Christ our Lord and King

 

So that we might be justified

By faith, not by our works be tried

But now that faith is come, we are

no longer under schoolmaster

 

For we are all the children, us

Of God by faith in Christ Jesus

For as many as baptised be

Have put on Christ, that their state, see

 

There is neither Jew nor Greek here

There neither slave nor free appear

There is neither male or female

For we all one in Christ, our tale

 

And if we be Christ's, then so we

Are Abraham's seed (descendants), true it be

And heirs as God to us promised

We His blessings shall not have missed
