LIFE is alone in Jesus found,
In Him who came from heaven,—
To those who trust His precious blood
This life is freely given.
By faith the one, now dead in sins,
Believes in Christ and lives,
For, 'tis to such, the Saviour God
This life eternal gives.
In Him believers are secure,
Their sins are washed away,
Sealed by the Holy Spirit too,
Unto redemption's day.
And thus they're linked with Christ on high,
The Church's glorious Head,
Who soon will come to claim His own,
The living and the dead.
Far, far beyond the starry sky,
Upon the throne of God,
We see the One who is our life,
Who once on earth hast trod.
For us His precious blood He gave
To save our souls from hell,
And take us to His Father's home-
O who that love can tell?
Eternal is the life He gives
To all who do believe,
To all who feel their need of Him,
And Jesus Christ receive.
And soon within that happy land,
Before His feet will fall,
All those who sing th' eternal song,
And crown Him Lord of all.
