If ever I am sav'd, I'm sure 19 But 'tis for sinners Jesus died; For I have not one mite to pay, 20 For I am poor and helpless still, I go to Christ, the sinners' friend, 21 Nor do I wish another way, None suits my case so well; For were it not entirely free My portion must be hell. I things are possible to those that believe. Mark ix. 23. 10 Could I but always believe, How happy my days would go round; 2 O could I but always believe, That Jesus to me was the same: Ah! sometimes I do believe this, And yet I can't trust in his name. 3 How strange is the conflict I feel Between the old man and the new; How often I fret and repine When Jesus is out of my view. 4 O could I but always believe, Then sure this would not be the case; But, Lord, thou hast made me believe 5 O could I but always believe My name stood recorded on high; But sometimes I fear and I doubt, 6 O could I but always believe That all will turn out for the best, Remaineth an eternal rest. 70 could I but always believe That Jesus, who bore all my sorrow, That he who has kept me to-day Will guide and protect me to-morrow. 8 O could I but always believe That mine is an infinite store; So peevish, so fretful, and poor. 9 O ́could I but always believe, When troubles my soul overwhelm, Since Jesus, my Friend, holds the helm. 10 All this I believe, and much more, All this is enroll'd in my creed, Each trouble and sorrow I feel, I have them because it's decreed. 11 O could I but always believe That though my beginning is small, Who once sav'd a poor dying thief. 13 By law I am damn'd and undone, And have no more claim than he had; But, Lord, I'm inform'd in thy word, I can't come to Jesus too bad. 14 O help me, dear Lord, to believe, And credit Emmanuel's plan, Which was to redeem the poor soul That Moses frowns on and condemn. 15 This, Lord, I can sometimes believe, Then I can believe very well; I then am assaulted by hell. 17 O could I but always believe That I am already a winner, In saving a perishing sinner. 18 Salvation to God and the Lamb! I'll praise him while I have a breath; I'll praise him in life and in death. 19 For saving a sinner so vile, So base and so wretched as me, Who must have sunk down into hell, 20 Shall I be afraid to declare What God in his mercy has done, In saving my soul from the pit, -a son! 21 A son by adoption and grace, My calling proves this to be true; Say ye to the righteous, it shall be well with him. 1 'TIS well with the righteous, "Tis well with the righteous, 'Tis. well with the righteous, And all that befalls them Shall work for their good. 2 'Tis well with the righteous : Some say 'tis man's good works: 'Tis Jehovah's chosen, They stand on a Rock That cannot be mov'd. 3 'Tis well with the righteous, It ever was well, For God had declar'd it, To save them from hell. Beloved and chosen, God singled them out; 'Tis well with the righteous, When bow'd down with doubt. 4 'Tis well with the righteous, They are joint heirs with Christ, 5 'Tis well with the righteous, For them Jesus died, And salvation completed. "Tis well with the righteous; Whose hearts often feel Like the hard adamant. 6 'Tis well with the righteous, Though often in tears; With a heart overwhelm'd And harass'd with fears; And 'tis well when they mourn, 7 'Tis well with the righteous, For who shall condemn them! The blood of atonement Has sign'd their discharge. 8 'Tis well with the righteous, God views them as such; They go to their Father, And can't ask too much: God counts them his righteous, United to Jesus, They are all justified. 9 'Tis well with the righteous, Whatever men say; In Christ they are righteous, God chose them in Christ, 10 'Tis well with the righteous, For God in our Surety |
