1
O Lord, in Thee believing,
 
Our souls have peace with God,
 
Eternal life receiving,
 
The purchase of Thy blood.
“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Romans 5:1)
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
“Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.” (Acts 20:28)
2
Our curse and condemnation
 
Thou barest in our stead;
 
Secure is our salvation,
 
In Thee, our risen Head.
“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.” (Galatians 3:13)
“And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry.” (1 Timothy 1:12)
3
The Holy Ghost, revealing
 
Thy grace, hath given us rest,
 
Thy stripes have been our healing,
 
Thy love doth make us blest.
“But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5)
4
In Thee the Father sees us
 
Accepted and complete;
 
Grace which from evil frees us,
 
For glory makes us meet.
“To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.” (Ephesians 1:6)
“Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light.” (Colossians 1:12)
