EN 5696 How Can We Sinners Know

1John.1.3

Versi Version 1

1

How can we sinners know

Our sins on earth forgiven?

How can my gracious Savior show

My name inscribed in heaven?

2

What we have felt and seen,

With confidence we tell,

And publish to the ends of earth

The signs infallible.

3

We who in Christ believe

That He for us hath died,

We all His unknown peace receive

And feel His blood applied.

4

Exults for joy our rising soul,

Disburthened of her load,

And swells, unutterably full

Of glory and of God.

5

His love surpasses far

The love of all beneath,

We find within, and dare

The pointless darts of death.

6

Stronger than death, or sin, or hell,

The mystic power we prove,

And conquerors of the world we dwell

In heaven, who dwell in love.

7

We by His Spirit prove

And know the things of God,

The things which freely of His love

He hath on us bestowed.

8

The meek and lowly heart

That in our Savior was,

To us that Spirit doth impart

And sign us with His cross.

9

Our nature’s turned, our mind

Transformed in all its powers,

And both the witnesses are joined,

The Spirit of God with ours.

10

His glory is our sole design,

We live our God to please,

And rise with filial fear divine

To perfect holiness.

11

The Spirit of my God

Hath certified Him mine,

And all the tokens showed,

Infallible, divine.

12

Hereby the pardoned sinner knows

His sins on earth forgiven,

And thus my gracious Savior shows

My name inscribed in Heaven.
