English text

1. O! How doth God our souls surprise,
When He our conscience doth baptize
Into the holy nature;
Where, free from all offense and blame,
We now possess in Christ the Lamb,
The fullness of his stature.

Now free
Are we
And shall ever
In our Savior
Stand perfected;
With him to this grace elected.

2. Free from all Consciousness of Sin,
We live where none can enter in;
This when in Heart believed;
Our Conscience answers towards God,
As free from Sin, thro’ Jesu’s Blood,
Nor can we be deceived:

For he
And we,
In one Body,
White and ruddy,
Are compleated:
In the Father’s Glory seated.

3. Salvation now in us is wrought;
Nor is there one uneasy Thought,
By which our Peace is spoiled:
Baptiz’d into the Saviour’s Name,
Our Conscience answers to the Lamb,
Who ne’er can be defiled.

Now blest
We rest
From what vexes
And perplexes;
We are fully
In and as is Jesus holy.
