<p>How can we sinners know<br>
Our sins on earth forgiven?<br>
How can my gracious Savior show<br>
My name inscribed in heaven?</p>
<p>What we have felt and seen,<br>
With confidence we tell,<br>
And publish to the ends of earth<br>
The signs infallible.</p>
<p>We who in Christ believe<br>
That He for us hath died,<br>
We all His unknown peace receive<br>
And feel His blood applied.</p>
<p>Exults for joy our rising soul,<br>
Disburthened of her load,<br>
And swells, unutterably full<br>
Of glory and of God.</p>
<p>His love surpasses far<br>
The love of all beneath,<br>
We find within, and dare<br>
The pointless darts of death.</p>
<p>Stronger than death, or sin, or hell,<br>
The mystic power we prove,<br>
And conquerors of the world we dwell<br>
In heaven, who dwell in love.</p>
<p>We by His Spirit prove<br>
And know the things of God,<br>
The things which freely of His love<br>
He hath on us bestowed.</p>
<p>The meek and lowly heart<br>
That in our Savior was,<br>
To us that Spirit doth impart<br>
And sign us with His cross.</p>
<p>Our nature&#8217;s turned, our mind<br>
Transformed in all its powers,<br>
And both the witnesses are joined,<br>
The Spirit of God with ours.</p>
<p>His glory is our sole design,<br>
We live our God to please,<br>
And rise with filial fear divine<br>
To perfect holiness.</p>
<p>The Spirit of my God<br>
Hath certified Him mine,<br>
And all the tokens showed,<br>
Infallible, divine.</p>
<p>Hereby the pardoned sinner knows<br>
His sins on earth forgiven,<br>
And thus my gracious Savior shows<br>
My name inscribed in heaven.</p>
