13*. Child of God, by Christ's Salvation
8,7.
by H.F. Lyte
Child of God, by Christ’s salvation,
Rise o’er sin, and fear, and care —
Joy to find in every station
Something still to do or bear;
Think what Spirit dwells within thee —
Think what Father’s smiles are thine —
Think that Jesus died to win thee —
Child of God! wilt thou repine?
“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.” (Romans 8:16)
“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)
“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.” (Romans 8:16)
“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures.” (1 Corinthians 15:3)
Haste thee on from grace to glory,
Armed by faith and winged by prayer,
Heaven’s eternal day’s before thee,
God’s right hand shall guide thee there;
Soon shall close thine earthly mission,
Soon shall pass thy pilgrim days,
Hope shall change to glad fruition,
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.
“But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.” (1 Peter 5:10)
