Old-Line Primitive Baptist Hymn and Tune Book

625 (C.M.) John Newton

Salvation! What a glorious plan,

How suited to our need!

The grace that raises fallen man

Is wonderful indeed!

'Twas wisdom formed the vast design,

To ransom us when lost;

And love's unfathomable mine,

Provided all the cost.

Strict Justice, with approving look,

The holy cov'nant sealed;

And Truth and Power undertook

The whole should be fulfilled.

Truth, Wisdom, Justice, Pow'r, and Love

In all their glory shone,

When Jesus left the courts above,

And died to save His own.

Now sin appears deserving death,

Most hateful and abhorred;

And yet the sinner lives by faith,

And dares approach the Lord.
