Salvation Unto Us Has Come

1. Sal- va- tion un- to us has come By God's free grace and fa- vor; Good works can- not a- vert our doom, They help and save us ne- ver. Faith looks to Je- sus Christ a- lone, Who did for all the world a- tone; He is our one Re- deem- er.

2. What God did in His law de- mand And none to Him could ren- der Caused wrath and woe on ev- ery hand For man, the vile of- fend- er. Our flesh has not those pure de- sires The spi- rit of the Law re- quires, And lost is our con- di- tion.

3. It was a false, mis- lead- ing dream That God His Law had gi- ven So sin- ners could them- selves re- deem And by their works gain Hea- ven. The Law is but a mir- ror bright To bring the in- bred sin to light That lurks with- in our na- ture.

4. From sin our flesh could not ab- stain Sin held its sway un- cea- sing; The task was use- less and in vain, Our guilt was e'er in- crea- sing. None can re- move sin's pois- oned dart Or pur- if- y our guile- ful heart? So deep is our cor- ru- ption.
