Good evening, everyone. We're going to be singing out
of our softback hymnal number 120. From Christ there flows a mighty
stream. From Christ there flows a mighty
stream, 120. Come, lost, despairing sinners,
here. Come, thirsty, sin-sick souls,
draw near. From Christ there flows a mighty
stream to quench your thirst and make you clean. The wonders here in Sinner's
Road Reach far beyond all human thought. The fountain is Emmanuel's
blood, the sin-atoning crimson flood. Yes, Jesus' blood, a boundless
sea, washes our guilt and filth away. Bathe here your soul and
be made clean. Drink now and never thirst again
To this blessed fountain now I come With all the sins that
press me down Guilty and vile and thirsty I, Unceasing to the
fountain fly. Let me not from this fountain
move Until I reach its source above. We're going to read from Psalm
33. Psalm 33. Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous,
for praise is comely for the upright. Praise the Lord with
harp. Sing unto him with the psaltery
and an instrument of ten strings. Sing unto him a new song. Play
skillfully with a loud voice. For the word of the Lord is right,
and all his works are done in truth. He loveth righteousness
and judgment. The earth is full of the goodness
of the Lord. By the word of the Lord were
the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath of
his mouth. He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap.
He layeth up the depth in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord.
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. For
he spake, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood fast.
The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to naught. He
maketh the devices of the people of none effect. The counsel of
the Lord standeth forever, the thoughts of his heart to all
generations. Blessed is the nation whose God
is the Lord, and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. The Lord looketh from heaven.
He beholdeth all the sons of men. From the place of his habitation
he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. He fashioned their
hearts alike, he considereth all their works. There is no
king saved by the multitude of an host. A mighty man is not
delivered by much strength. An horse is a vain thing for
safety, neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. Behold,
the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that
hope in his mercy. to deliver their soul from death
and to keep them alive in famine. Our soul waiteth for the Lord.
He is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in
him because we have trusted in his holy name. Let thy mercy,
O Lord, be upon us according as we hope in thee. Our heavenly merciful Father,
we thank you. for allowing us to assemble in
this place again. Father, we thank you. From week
to week, you allow us to come together to fellowship and to
worship our great Savior. Father, will you continue to
look over us? You know all the needs for us
as a group. And Lord, we are very thankful
that we have this little corner in this building that we can
come and fellowship and worship you and to come together and
to support and to communicate our desires to each other also. Father, remember Brother Eric
as he stands before us this evening. Lord, will you remember him.
Each time is a new time and will you pour out your spirit upon
him and also upon us as we listen. Be with Brother Eric and also
Michelle as they hope to travel to Darwin's, Brother Darwin's
church. Lord, give him a message. Give
him the messages that he must preach and help him, Lord, in
all that he does for us also from week to week. Continue,
Lord, to give him strength. And Lord, we thank you for him.
And Lord, we also thank you for your great salvation. for your
mercy and for your grace. Father, will you open this up
more to us in this evening? Strengthen our faith, Lord. Give
us rest in our souls. For so often, Lord, we wonder
from you, and we do not see this glorious gospel as we should. Father, will you open up your
scriptures this evening to us? And remember, Lord, all of us,
as we are struggling some with health issues, and perhaps a
lot of stress and different things that we know not of. But Father,
will you comfort us and give us all that we stand in need
of? And remember, Lord, also our loved ones. Lord, would you
open our mouths that we may speak of and boast in the Lord Jesus
Christ, that they may see, Lord, where our rest and where our
hope is. For Jesus' sake alone, amen. As you remain sitting, let's
sing 101, electing love adored 101. Making noise? Oh. O glory to the great I Am, Who
chose me in the blessed land. Though millions of this fallen
race Shall never know or taste His grace, Praise, honor, power,
and glory be to Christ, the Lamb of Calvary, who gave His life's
atoning blood and reconciled me to my God. Praise to the spirit must be
given Who frees from sin and leads to heaven Chosen, redeemed,
and called by grace To God alone I give my praise Yeah. Can you guys still hear
me at all? OK, as well? That was your mic volume there.
Oh. Interesting. Yeah, it's got to
be a little interference. Yeah, something's interfering.
Is it better? I could hear it. Yeah, I could hear it pretty
loudly. Is it really annoying you? Because
we could always turn off the mic if we have to. Can you hear me okay? All right,
I'll just speak. Be sure to speak up then. All right, take your Bibles and
let's turn to Isaiah chapter 55. Isaiah 55, and I want to look
at the first three verses with you. I've titled this message,
If Any Man Thirst. If Any Man Thirst. Let's read
the first verse of our text together. Verse one. Ho, everyone that
thirsteth, come ye to the waters. And he that hath no money, come
ye, buy and eat. Ye come, buy wine and milk without
money and without price. Now, this is an invitation. It's an invitation and the one
that's speaking this invitation is God. God himself is speaking
this invitation. It's, when I read it, it's warm. It's generous. It's engaging. It's gracious and kind. It's definitely an invitation. Now, I generally don't use the
word invitation. And that's because of how man
in religion has taken the word of God and twists it and ruins
it and actually makes the invitations of God for his people, which
are beautiful, which are lovely, which are glorious. And they
tend to make the invitation of God to his people to be useless,
useless to those that they're preaching and declaring the word
to. And so I typically avoid saying
or pointing out this is an invitation of God to his people, but I love
the invitations of God for his people. How he graciously calls
his people out of darkness and into his light. How he speaks
to the one who's troubled and bids them to come. and find rest
for their souls in Him. The Lord is very gracious in
His invitations to His people. He encourages that one who's
trembling and afraid and fearful, and He encourages them with words
of comfort to come to Him, assuring them that they will have that
which they seek of His grace and mercy. He gives very kind
invitations to his people. Look at it. It says, ho, everyone
that thirsteth, come ye to the waters. That is an invitation. He that hath no money, come ye,
buy and eat. That is an invitation. Come,
buy wine and milk without money and without price. That is an
invitation. But know this, this is an invitation
to a particular people. This is a word of God, an invitation
of God given to a particular people. It's not given to everyone
in the world. It's not given to everyone in
the world. And you might say, well, hold on a minute. Doesn't
it say right there in a text, ho, everyone? Doesn't it say
everyone? Is the Lord inviting everyone
in the world without prejudice, meaning without limitation? Is
it just an open-ended invitation to every single individual in
the world? Or does the Lord define those
that he's inviting here in the text? Does he define who it is
that he's speaking to so kindly, so graciously, so lovingly? And so is it going to everyone
or is it defined who that is? Because not everyone, but everyone
defined is to whom this invitation goes. Not everyone, but to everyone
defined, that's who this invitation is addressed to. If this was to everyone, let's
just say this was to everyone, this is how this verse might
read. Let's see this. If this was to
everyone, this is how this verse might read. Ho, everyone, come
ye to the waters. Come ye, buy and eat, yea, come,
buy wine and milk. If that was just an open ended
invitation to all, it would just read something like, ho, everyone,
Come ye to the waters, come by and eat. That would be to everyone. There's no limitations as to
who that everyone is. But it doesn't say that. It doesn't
say, ho, everyone, come to the waters. It says, ho, everyone
that thirsteth. everyone that thirsteth, come
ye to the waters. He that hath no money, come ye
buy and eat. Come buy wine and milk without
money and without price. So the grace of God that's shown
here to sinners. In this word here, it's not that
it's to everyone, but we see the love of God in that it's
to anyone. There's no limitations as to
what type of person it is. Well, let me show you what I
mean. Turn over to John chapter seven. Let's go to John chapter
seven, because this is where I actually get the title of the
message from, If Any Man Thirst. John 7, verse 37. And we're gonna also, we're gonna be there
just for a few minutes and then we'll close with verse 38 and
39, so don't turn from it yet. But verse 37 says, in that last
day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried saying,
if any man thirst, If any man thirst, let him come unto me
and drink." If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink.
So Christ isn't addressing everyone, but he is speaking to anyone. He's speaking to anyone. It doesn't
matter if a man or woman, whether it's man or woman, and it doesn't
matter if that man or woman is great or small. It doesn't matter
if they're rich or they're poor, if they're free or enslaved,
if they're young or they're old. It doesn't matter what their
education level is, if they're learned or unlearned. It doesn't
matter if they're strong or weak, if they're religious and have
been their whole lives, or if they're an infidel or a castaway. It doesn't matter if they're
disciplined or undisciplined. It doesn't matter if they're
good or bad. It doesn't matter if they're
a Jew or a Gentile. If any man thirst, let him come
unto me, Christ says, and drink. Let him go to Christ and drink.
And so the invitation is to anyone who is thirsty. If anyone is thirsty, let him
come unto me, Christ said, and drink. So this thirst that Christ
is speaking of, this thirst that's in our text, it's referring to
righteousness. Them that are thirsting and hungering
for righteousness because in ourselves we have no righteousness. We don't do that which is right
and acceptable and pleasing to God, we're sin. We are sinners,
we're sinful, we do sin and we are sin. We sinned in Adam. We fell in the garden. We were
cut off from fellowship with God, ruined in our very nature. And we cannot work a righteousness. We cannot keep the law of God.
We certainly can't keep it perfectly. We don't even keep it in part.
And where we break it in one, we've broken the whole law. We're
condemned. We're condemned sinners. But
if any man is a sinner and thirsts for forgiveness, let him come
unto me, Christ said, and drink. As any man condemned and needs
mercy, let him come unto Christ and drink. If any man is troubled,
he has no rest. He's like the troubled sea just
picking up muck and dirt and gunk from the bottom of the sea
if he's troubled. If he's restless and afraid,
let him come unto Christ. If he seeks for rest and peace
with God, let him come unto Christ and drink. If any man is cut
off, feels himself to be cut off, having sinned despite the
Spirit of Grace and doesn't know what he's going to do, and he
needs salvation, he thirsts for salvation, let him come unto
Christ and drink. And so our Lord continues, saying
in verse 38 and 39, He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath
said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
But this he spake of the Holy Spirit, which they that believe
on him should receive. For the Holy Ghost was not yet
given, because that Jesus was not yet glorified. And so, what
our Lord is saying is that all who believe on Christ are born
again of the Holy Spirit. That's why they bear that fruit
of faith. That's why they go to Christ.
That's why they come to Him having nothing, no confidence in self,
no confidence in their works. They go to Christ broken, needy,
dead in trespasses and sins, sick and sorry, they go to Christ,
Lord have mercy on me, help me Lord. They go to him and it testifies
that they are born again so that by the grace of God giving them
life, they are brought under the sound of the gospel. They
are called by God and brought under the sound of the gospel
and given an ear to hear the glorious good news being declared
to sinners in the name of Jesus Christ. For the sake of Christ,
sinners find mercy, find rest for their souls, find grace and
peace with God because of Christ, for Christ's sake. And they hear
it. They hear that glorious good
news and they believe and so they find satisfaction with Christ. They find he's all that they
need. He's everything that the sinner
needs. And he says, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living
water. And what that means is that when
he comes to Christ, the sinner that comes to Christ and finds
they're all in Christ is satisfied with him. It's an ever flowing
river of water, satisfied with Christ so that they're not looking
around. We don't believe on Christ and
then start to collect little good luck charms and practice
little superstitions trying to aid and add to the hope that
we have in Christ. All that's garbage. All that's
dung. We're done with those things.
We find everything we need in the Lord Jesus Christ. That God
receives us and accepts us in the person of Jesus Christ. We
come in his righteousness. His blood, we come pleading the
blood of Christ and mercy for Christ's sake, because that's
the salvation that God has provided for His people, for the needy
sinner, for the one who's thirsty. Now, that means not everyone
is addressed, but the invitation is addressed to anyone who thirsts. Not everyone, but anyone who
thirsts. So when does a man hear the invitation
that God gives to his people? When does a man hear the invitation?
When it's addressed to him. When it's addressed to him, when
he hears the Lord speaking to him. Lord, I'm the sinner. Lord, I'm thirsty. Lord, I'm
hungry for your righteousness. Lord, I have nothing. Have mercy
on me, Lord. Would you save me? Would you
cover me in the blood of Christ? That's when a man hears the invitation. Come. Come unto me. Come unto
Christ. And drink. Drink. Drink it all
and as much as you can take. Just keep on drinking. And God
will keep providing. He calls the... That's when a
man hears the invitation when it's addressed to him. And so,
it's addressed to him that has a need, that has the need. He's
the sinner. And that need is made known to
him in that he's thirsty. Now he's thirsty. Now he's hungry. Now he can't get himself clean
by his works. Now all he sees is filth and
vile wretchedness before the light of God. And so that man,
he hungers and thirsts, and it testifies he's alive. Dead people
don't hunger and thirst. They have no need for food, and
they have no need for drink. Dead people don't hunger and
thirst. The living soul, that one who's alive, hungers and
thirsts. And that's why they hear, and
that's why they come. That's why they look to the salvation
of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, and are saved, even all the way
out to the ends of the earth. That's the Lord's calling, his
people in Christ. And you know, you think of that
picture of the damsel. I think it says that she was
about 12 years old, who was dead. And they mocked Christ when he
said that she's not dead, she's just sleeping. And they laughed,
and then he brought her back from the dead and gave her to
her parents. And he said to her parents, give her something to
eat. And it's a picture of us when
we hear the grace of our God, when we hear of the glories of
Christ, and we're alive. That's why we hear it. That's
why we look to Him and we come, but we're hungry, and we're thirsting. We're weak in this flesh. And
so the Lord says, feed, feed my sheep. Peter, do you love
me? Feed my sheep. Feed my sheep. Feed my sheep. And so the Lord
is feeding you. He's giving you food, the bread
from heaven. that which does not perish. He
gives you the bread of heaven and he gives you the drink of
Christ's blood, which is refreshing and cleanses us from the stain
of sin. So, the man born of the Spirit
hears the gospel, he feels his need, and he believes on Christ
by faith. He trusts the Word of God. He
doesn't see what he thinks he should see in himself. He doesn't
see what he wants to see in himself. He thinks he's just stumbling
and falling short. And wonders why God would be
gracious to him. And yet the Lord is. He's gracious
for Christ's sake. And He makes Christ precious
to us because we know It's for Christ's sake that we're received
of the Lord. So we continue in Christ through the power of God
and by his teaching, the teaching of the Holy Spirit, who then
reasons with us and gives us knowledge and understanding in
the things of our God. Our Lord is revealing himself
to that new man, that new creation, which he's formed in his people,
whereby we know him. believe on him and our Lord wars
against the lies and the deceit of carnal men we read this in
2nd Corinthians 10 verse 5 where Paul says of the spirit and but
through the gospel it's casting down imaginations and every high
thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God and bringing
into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ because
we're in this flesh and we're in this world and we're carnal
by nature and the Lord is destroying those things which are foolish
and darkness and those things which cannot save and so we see
this spiritual knowledge and this reasoning that the Lord
gives to his people now look back in Isaiah 55 and the first
half of verse 2. He asks, Wherefore do you spend
money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which
satisfieth not? So through these two questions,
the Lord, as you read them, the Lord's showing you just how full
of folly this flesh is, how foolish this flesh is, because that's
what we do by nature. That's what the flesh does. The
flesh spends and the flesh labors on that which cannot save, on
that which cannot satisfy, on that which does not strengthen
and nourish us. Why do ye spend money for that
which is not bread, and your labor for that which satisfieth
not? And so the Lord's pointing out,
you're spending money on that which does not nourish you, you're
laboring on that which brings you no satisfaction, no peace
with God, no forgiveness, no rest for your souls. And the
Lord uses this because we eat bread We know what that is, we
eat bread for strength, we eat bread for nourishment, we eat
bread to stay alive. And if you need life, he's saying
you're wasting your time in the things of men. You're wasting
your time in vain, carnal, fleshly religion. You're wasting your
time trying to do the things that man says is important in
religious things, and thinking this is salvation, and this is
what God is happy and pleased with, and he's saying that's
not at all what the Lord is pleased with. You're not finding satisfaction
in what you're laboring in. He's saying, look to Christ,
look to my son, look to the Lord Jesus Christ whom I've sent,
the one in whom I'm pleased, I'm satisfied with him, and you'll
find rest and peace and satisfaction for your souls in the Lord Jesus
Christ. So, don't look to dead letter
religion. Don't look to try and fix things
and make things better for yourself by the things that you do. We
should do good works and we should join together, gather together
to hear the word. But that's not the hope of our
righteousness. Our Lord and Savior is the hope
of our righteousness. So carnal man will be found focusing
on morality, focusing on his religion, focusing on getting
other men and women to do things, more religious things, so he
can make his boast in those things. But that's not the sufficiency
of Christ. Christ alone saves. And, you
know, many will speak of Christ. Many will speak of Him, even
of Him as Lord, but that doesn't mean that He declares the doctrine
of Christ, the all-sufficiency of Christ. And so they'll emphasize,
instead of preaching the salvation of God in Christ, they'll emphasize
what man is responsible to do. They'll emphasize what man needs
to be doing more of and getting you motivated and active to do
more things, which then becomes your focus and the hope of your
salvation. Our Lord said, in vain do they
worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. That's
Matthew 15, 9. And then Paul tells us in 1 Timothy
4, verse 1, he says, now the spirit speaketh expressly that
in the latter times, some shall depart from the faith, giving
heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. And he explains
that some of the things that they would say would be, they
would forbid you to marry, and they would forbid you from eating
meats, meat sacrifice to idols, for example. And Paul says, Anything
that's received with thanksgiving, it's fine. You can eat it. Anything
that's received with thanks, knowing that it's of God who
gives it, and that there is but one God, one Lord. It's all of
his hand, and we receive it with thanks. He says it's fine, but
the way that we counter the foolish teaching of man, and the way
we counter those imaginations in our flesh that exalt themselves
against the truth and knowledge of our God, he tells us is the
gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. He says in 1 Timothy 4, 6, if
thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be
a good minister of Jesus Christ. nourished up in the words of
faith, and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained."
And so, the doctrine of Christ, it's all declared in the covenant
of His grace, that God's provided everything for us. through His
Son. Our Savior came in the flesh,
the Son of God came in the flesh for His people to be that fit
sacrifice, born under the law, born of the seed of woman, conceived
in her womb by the Holy Ghost, so that He was born under the
law and fulfilled the law of God perfectly for His people,
doing all that was necessary. performing every jot and every
tittle of the law. And our savior died in the place
of his people as their sacrifice and sets us free from all the
burden of man-made carnal religion that cannot satisfy or set us
free. And so he died and his salvation
is full and free. It can't be earned, it can't
be bought, it can't be purchased by our works or our giving or
anything that we do. It's free in the Lord Jesus Christ. Now notice back there in Isaiah
55 verse 2, that first half, he says, wherefore do you spend
money? for that which is not bread,
and your labor for that which satisfieth not." And that spending
of money and laboring, that's man's thoughts. That's man's
ways. That's how man thinks salvation
gets done. By what he spends for it, and
by how hard he works for it. Because if he's not spending
for it, and if he's not working hard for it, then God won't be
pleased with it. That's what man thinks. He thinks,
God won't value this if I don't strive and spend my effort and
my time and my works and work hard for this. It means that
there's no value in it. And God won't receive that if
there's no value in it. But that's because man thinks
that way because that's how the carnal man thinks without the
Spirit of God. 1 Corinthians 2.14. Why don't
you turn there, 1 Corinthians 2.14. We'll look at two verses
here. Verse 14 says, But the natural
man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they
are foolishness unto him, neither can he know them, because they
are spiritually discerned. Now look up at verse 12. Now
we have received not the Spirit of the world, but the Spirit
which is of God, that we might know the things that are freely
given to us of God. It is free. It cost Christ His
blood. It cost Him His life. He laid
down His life willingly to put away the sins of His people.
But to you and me, the needy sinner who has nothing to spend,
no good works, no righteousness to give to God, it's free to
all who come and ask Him, all who look to Him, all who need
Him. He invites them, come. Come, you that are thirsty, come
unto Me. and drink, Christ said. And so, to seek to work for, to seek
to labor for this salvation is really no different than how
the Pharisees were in rejecting Christ. in rejecting the Word
of God, in rejecting the testimony of God that in Christ alone is
salvation. Turn over to Romans chapter 10,
Romans 10 verse 2. Paul says, speaking of the Pharisees
who sought righteousness by their own works, who who spent money
and labored for bread and for satisfaction. This is them in
Romans 10-2. Paul said, I bear them record
that they have a zeal of God. but not according to knowledge,
not according to spiritual knowledge. They refused, they rejected the
simplicity that is in Christ. They rejected the simplicity
of righteousness by the Lord Jesus Christ. For they being
ignorant of God's righteousness and going about to establish
their own righteousness have not submitted themselves unto
the righteousness of God. When we try to come to God in
our own righteousness, in our spent money, in our labor, or
even in Christ plus, Jesus plus, my works, when we come to Him,
we're calling God a liar. We're saying, Lord, you haven't
provided enough. It's not sufficient. I need more. I don't believe you, Lord. For
Christ is, verse four, the end of the law for righteousness
to everyone that believe it. And so they reject Christ because
he's full and free and provides everything and it discounts all
their spent money and all their labor and says it's all done.
It's not received by God. He despises it, just as you despised
his son. He despises your works as you
despised his son. So they think that their spending
and their labor The carnal man thinks it's more valuable than
the preciousness of the Lord Jesus Christ whom the Father
gave and spared not to obtain the salvation and eternal redemption
of the souls of his people, of his people's lives. So they think
it's of no value, but the Spirit says, or the Lord says, he that
hath an ear to hear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto
the churches. So our Lord calls the living
to himself, those that are hungering and thirsting, those whose need
is revealed in them. And he says now, back in Isaiah
55, verse two, the second half. He says, hearken diligently unto
me and eat ye that which is good and let your soul delight itself
in fatness. In other words, stop trying to
earn God's favor with your spending and your laboring and under the
law and in works of righteousness trying to please God to give
peace to your soul. Rest in the Lord Jesus Christ. Look to Christ. Believe Him. He provides all that's good.
He gives all that's necessary. He's given it all. He's obtained
eternal redemption for His people. He's the one that gives life
to His people. He's the one that sustains His
people. He to this day intercedes for his people and assures us
that we are received of the Father and brought into the beloved
family of God through the Lord Jesus Christ. In Him we have
the promise of eternal life and will never perish. She says here
in verse 3, Isaiah 55 3, Incline your ear and come unto me. Here and your soul shall live. And I will make an everlasting
covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David." And so the
true doctrine leads us to Christ. We see him. He's made precious
to us. And so you that are thirsty,
you that have no righteousness, hear that invitation addressed
to you, the needy sinner. He says, come, come unto me. Anyone anyone that thirsts and
let them drink drink of Christ and you'll find satisfaction
and peace in your soul Amen Let's close in prayer Our gracious
Lord we thank you father for your grace. We thank you for
your sweet invitation to your people the needy sinner the one
whom you address here in this text Lord I You make us to know
our need of You. You make us to know that Christ
is all, that there's satisfaction in Him. And Lord, there's peace
with our God in the Lord Jesus Christ. We thank You, Lord, for
Your salvation. Lord, help us not to look away.
Help us not to spend money and labor on that which does not
satisfy and is not bread. Help us ever to find our satisfaction
in the Lord Jesus Christ. Keep us ever looking to Him. Bless us with Your full, rich,
free Gospel. Lord, declare it to us always,
and that by it You would cast down every imagination and vain
thought that exalts itself against the knowledge of our God. And
Lord, that You would bring into captivity the thoughts of our
hearts and minds, and make them subject to Christ. It's in his
name we pray and give thanks. Amen. Let's all stand and sing a closing
hymn, 133. Complete in thee, 133. You. I plead in thee, no work of mine
may take, dear Lord, the place of thine. Thy blood hath pardoned,
bought for me, and I am now complete in thee. Ye justified, O blessed
though, and sanctified, salvation wrought. Thy blood hath pardoned
but for me, and glorified I too shall be. Complete in thee, no
more shall sin, thy grace has conquered rain within. Thy voice shall bid the tempter
flee, and I shall stand complete in thee. Yea, justified, O blessed
thought, and sanctified, salvation wrought. Thy blood hath parted
but for me, and glorified I too shall be. Complete in thee, each
want supplied, and no good thing to me denied. Since thou my portion,
Lord, wilt be, I ask no more. Complete in thee, yea, justified,
O blessed thought, and sanctified, salvation wrought. Thy blood
hath pardoned but for me, And glorified I too shall be. Your Saviour went before thy
bar, All tribes and tongues assembled are, Among thy chosen will I
be, At thy right hand, complete in thee. Yea, justified, O blessed
thought, And sanctified, salvation wrought, Thy blood hath pardoned
but for me, and glorified I too shall be. Thank you.
