"Justification"

[KenH]

A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in common meter)

Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

"Justification"

1. Thrice happy souls, in Jesus found,
And freely justified:
They shall with endless life be crown'd,
By Him they crucified.

2. The law on them has no demand,
Yet they His precepts love;
For, justified by grace they stand,
And wait for joys above.

3. No condemnation is proclaim'd
Against this chosen race;
Nor shall they ever be asham'd,
Before Jehovah's face.

4. They, by the Holy Spirit taught,
Both live and walk by faith;
Till home to glory they are brought,
As God's own promise saith.

5. Nor curse, nor wrath, nor death, nor hell,
Can their blest souls destroy;
With Christ, their Surety, they shall dwell
In everlasting joy.
