LXXVIII. The soul renew'd by grace divine

1 The soul renew'd by grace divine,
Born of the Spirit from above--
Will conquer Satan, world and sin,
And ever grow in faith and love.

2 By faith, in Jesus Christ the Lord!
The crown and vict'ry may ve gain'd;
The soul is stay'd upon the word,
And everlasting life obtain'd.

3 Jesus the blessed Son of God,
The everlasting truth hath seal'd;
He came by water and with blood,
Himself as God and man reveal'd.

4 In heaven three do bear record:
The father, Spirit and the Son;
The Son is the eternal word,
And all these blessed three are one.

5 And three there are on earth below:
The Spirit, Water and the blood;
These bear record and witness too,
That Jesus is the Son of God.

6 All these records, as one agree,
And we do know that they are sure;
The testimonies of those three
Do seal our peace for ever more.
