Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #264 (2011) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal Lyrics: 1 How can a sinner know
His sins on earth forgiven?
How can my gracious Savior show
My name inscribed in heaven?
2 What we have felt and seen
With confidence we tell;
And publish to the sons of men
The signs infallible.
3 We who in Christ believe
That He for us hath died,
We all His unknown peace receive,
And feel His blood applied.
4 Exults our rising soul,
Disburdened of her load,
And swells unutterably full
Of glory and of God.
5 His love surpassing far
The love of all beneath
We find within our hearts, and dare
The pointless darts of death.
6 Stronger than death or hell
The sacred power we prove;
And, conquerors of the world, we dwell
In heaven, who dwell in love. Topics: The Christian Life Repentance and Forgiveness; Decision Scripture: 1 John 1:3-10 Languages: English Tune Title: GERAR
