159. Full Salvation

1 If you want pardon, if you want peace,
If you want sighing and sorrow to cease,
Look up to Jesus, who died on the tree
To purchase a full salvation.

Refrain:
Living beneath the shade of the cross,
Counting the jewels of earth but as dross;
Washed in the blood that flowed from his side,
Enjoying a full salvation.

2 I am so glad that Jesus saved me,
Purchased my pardon on Calvary’s tree!
I am washed in th’-blood he shed for me there,
Enjoying a full salvation. [Refrain]

3 If you want Jesus to reign in your soul,
Plunge in the fountain and you shall be whole;
Look up to Jesus, who died on the tree,
To purchase a full salvation. [Refrain]

4 There’s peace in believing, sweet peace to the soul,
To know that he maketh me perfectly whole;
There’s joy everlasting to feel his blood flow,
‘Tis life my Redeemer to know. [Refrain]

5 There’s peace in believing, sweet peace to the soul,
To know that he maketh me perfectly whole;
Oh, come to the fountain, oh, come at his call,
There’s healing and cleansing for all. [Refrain]
