"Salvation is of the LORD." -Jonah 2:9

Let us sing of our Redeemer, Jesus Christ the sinner’s Friend; For He died to seal our pardon, Of our sins He made an end. CHORUS: Sing the praises of the Savior, Who our sins and sorrows bore; Christ accomplished our redemption, Praise His Name forevermore. Harken to the voice of triumph, “It is finished,” Jesus cried; Finished, ev’ry type and shadow, All the law He satisfied. CHORUS   What a wondrous, mighty Savior, Righteousness He has brought in; Risen and on high ascended, Conqueror of death and sin. CHORUS When we pray unto the Father, Plead the merits of His Son; This be all our claim before Him, Only what the Lord has done. CHORUS Tune: “ Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus,” p. 257 (8.7.8.7. w/chorus) Words by preacher Jim Byrd

He has not come into them in the power of His love; still they often say, "When wilt Thou come unto me? O visit me with Thy salvation; speak a word to my soul; it is Thyself, and Thyself alone, I want to hear, to see, and to know!"   Now these are drawings of the gracious Lord, the secret beginnings of H is coming, the heralds of his approach, the dawning of the day before the morning star arises and the sun follows upon his track.
