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.�

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.
