FREE FROM THE LAW, O HAPPY CONDITION
Free from the law, O happy condition,
Jesus hath bled, and there is remission;
Cursed by the law and bruised by the fall,
Grace hath redeemed us once for all.
Now we are free, there's no condemnation,
Jesus provides a perfect salvation;
"Come unto Me," O hear His sweet call,
Come, and He saves us once for all.
"Children of God," O glorious calling,
Surely His grace will keep us from falling;
Passing from death to life at His call,
Blessed salvation once for all.
Once for all, O sinner, receive it,
Once for all, O friend, now believe it;
Cling to the cross, the burden will fall,
Christ hath redeemed us once for all.
Philip P. Bliss.

Greetings from Wordwise Hymns. Your posting of Philip Bliss's "Once for All" caught my eye because I posted an article on it myself this morning.
The words are typical of Bliss's gospel songs, strong doctrinally, but stated simply. The law could only condemn, and give the knowledge of sin. It couldn't save us. That took the cross. God bless.
