"So great a salvation," ye saints of the Lord,
|
|
| 1. | "So great a salvation," ye saints of the Lord, |
| | To us is revealed in His marvelous Word! |
| | Since all that He is and has done is for us, |
| | We'll give earnest heed to this word |
| | glorious. |
| 2. | What He is of God and of Man as the Son, |
| | We now may enjoy since with Him we are |
| | one; |
| | Our High Priest and Captain-salvation is |
| | He! |
| | He'll cause us to grow in His glory to be. |
| 3. | He's washed all our sins, purified them |
| | fore'er; |
| | Tasted death on the cross, ended slavery |
| | there. |
| | He took on our nature, the devil has slain, |
| | And put you and I in His glorious train. |
| 4. | So great the extent of salvation to us- |
| | We're partners of Christ in His plan |
| | glorious. |
| | He'll bring us to glory and we'll rule with |
| | Him, |
| | To the uttermost saved by His working |
| | within. |
| 5. | To such a salvation our heed we must give, |
| | Lest drifting away or neglecting we live, |
| | Christ now as our life, future ruling with |
| | Him, |
| | We'll miss if we miss this salvation within. |
| 6. | "So great a salvation" is given to us |
| | That we may be made like our Lord |
| | glorious! |
| | By all that He is and by all He has done |
| | We're brought into glory with God's |
| | firstborn Son. |
