Salvation by Grace Alone

"Not of works"—no vain endeavors
Can God's great salvation bring
"All of grace"—the Word proclaims it,
Gift of heaven's eternal King;
By believing simply take it,
And the Giver's praises sing.
"By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works lest any man should boast." Eph. 2:8, 98For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast. (Ephesians 2:8‑9).
