1130  ASSURANCE AND JOY OF SALVATION — So Great a Salvation

1. Sing praise to Christ Who lives in us,
  The God of our salvation;
  Who saves us by His life divine,
  And not by regulation;
  After we've worked—done all we can,
  His life has power to change a man:
  His life divine can change us.
2. He saves us to the uttermost
  By His life—giving power;
  Transfusing Himself into us,
  He saves us hour by hour.
  He saved the lost by coming in,
  He's saving now from more than sin:
  He's saving us to glory!
3. Our Lord was constituted priest
  To be a real life—giver;
  Life is the nature of this One
  Who can from self deliver:
  His life is indestructible,
  By it He saves us to the full:
  Praise God, He's fully able!
4. His life is fully qualified
  To bring us through to glory;
  Were it not for His tested life,
  'Twould be another story:
  His life was fully tried on earth,
  To crucifixion from His birth:
  He passed through death and Hades.
5. He's pledged to save us to the full,
  His life is operating;
  He's doing everything for us
  'Tis all for our perfecting;
  Our life's a failure at its best,
  Only His life can stand the test:
  His life brings full salvation!
6. He's living now to intercede,
  Continuing forever;
  He undertakes into the age,
  His priesthood changes never;
  He always lives to intercede,
  Such a High Priest is what we need:
  He's higher than the heavens.
7. Come forward now to God through Him,
  Ne'er shrink back to destruction;
  Come forward now to get the life,
  Which brings the proper function;
  Come forward now the life to take,
  By life His people us He'll make,
  And swallow death forever.
