Author: James Relly Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Romans 4:5 First Line: The man who works not, but believes Lyrics: 1 The man who works not, but believes
On him who justifies
Ungodly souls, in Christ receives
The life, that never dies.
2 Our Saviour full atonement made,
When for our sins he dies;
And, when he left death's gloomy shade,
Our persons justified.
3 Who shall condemn? 'twas Jesus died,
'Twas Jesus rose again;
He with himself hath justified
The sinful sons of men.
4 In hope of what in Christ I am,
Rejoicing, I believe,
Against my hopeless guilt and shame,
And thus, by faith, I live.
