Justifying Grace Means of Grace Repentance
6 I stand, and admire Thine out-stretched arm ; I walk through the fire, And suffer no harm ; Assaulted by evil, I scorn to submit; The world and the devil Fall under my feet. For Believer's Rejoicing. 1J7 7 I wrestle not now, But trample on sin, For with me art thou, And shalt be within ; While stronger and stronger In Jesus's power, I go on to conquer, Till sin is no more.
