Author: Erik L. Pontopiddan; A. Samuel Wallgren, 1885-1940 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1414 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: If asked whereon I rest my claim Lyrics: 1. If asked whereon I rest my claim
To full salvation’s joy,
If nothing more I need to name,
Or other words employ,
Besides our Savior’s blood and wounds,
To me all-satisfying grounds;
I answer then, My claim is good!
’Tis based on Jesus’ blood.
2. This is my hope’s foundation firm,
Which ever shall endure;
Yea, at the end of life’s brief term,
I’ll rest thereon secure,
And dreaded death shall lose its sting,
As of my Savior’s wounds I sing;
His precious blood shall be the key
That opens Heav’n for me. Languages: English Tune Title: [If asked whereon I rest my claim]
Faith in the Blood
