[1Jo 1:3] How Can We Sinners Know
How can we sinners know
Our sins on earth forgiven?
How can my gracious Savior show
My name inscribed in heaven?What we have felt and seen,
With confidence we tell,
And publish to the ends of earth
The signs infallible.We who in Christ believe
That He for us hath died,
We all His unknown peace receive
And feel His blood applied.Exults for joy our rising soul,
Disburthened of her load,
And swells, unutterably full
Of glory and of God.His love surpasses far
The love of all beneath,
We find within, and dare
The pointless darts of death.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.We by His Spirit prove
And know the things of God,
The things which freely of His love
He hath on us bestowed.The meek and lowly heart
That in our Savior was,
To us that Spirit doth impart
And sign us with His cross.Our nature’s turned, our mind
Transformed in all its powers,
And both the witnesses are joined,
The Spirit of God with ours.His glory is our sole design,
We live our God to please,
And rise with filial fear divine
To perfect holiness.The Spirit of my God
Hath certified Him mine,
And all the tokens showed,
Infallible, divine.Hereby the pardoned sinner knows
His sins on earth forgiven,
And thus my gracious Savior shows
My name inscribed in Heaven.Play source: Cyberhymnal

[1Jo 3:1] Behold The Amazing Gift Of Love
Behold th’amazing gift of love
The Father hath bestowed
On us, the sinful sons of men,
To call us sons of God!Concealed as yet this honor lies,
By this dark world unknown,
A world that knew not when He came,
Even God’s eternal Son.High is the rank we now possess;
But higher we shall rise;
Though what we shall hereafter be
Is hid from mortal eyes.Our souls, we know, when He appears,
Shall bear His image bright;
For all His glory, full disclosed,
Shall open to our sight.A hope so great, and so divine,
May trials well endure;
And purge the soul from sense and sin,
As Christ Himself is pure.Behold what wondrous grace
The Father hath bestow’d
On sinners of a mortal race
To call them Sons of God!’Tis no surprising thing,
That we should be unknown;
The Jewish world knew not their King,
God’s everlasting Son.Nor doth it yet appear
How great we must be made;
But when we see our Saviour here,
We shall be like our Head.A hope so much divine
May trials well endure,
May purge our souls from sense and sin
As Christ the Lord is pure.If in my Father’s love
I share a filial part,
Send down Thy Spirit like a dove,
To rest upon my heart.We would no longer lie
Like slaves beneath the throne;
