How Shall We Escape?

Composer: James McGranahan, 1887

God loved a world of sin­ners

For them He gave His Son;

And who­so­e’er re­ceives Him

He saves them

ev­ery one.

He came to bring sal­va­tion

To bear our sins away

That we with Him in glo­ry

Might live thro’ end­less day.

How shall we es­cape

If we ne­glect so great sal­va­tion?

How shall we es­cape

If we ne­glect so great sal­va­tion

Neglect so great sal­va­tion?

Behold the bleed­ing Sav­ior

Upon the cru­el tree—

The Just

con­demned

for­sak­en—

He dies for you and me;

The Son of God

be­lov­èd

For us a curse was made;

That we might have re­demp­tion

The aw­ful price He paid.

God loves the vil­est sin­ner

But hates the small­est sin;

Then who shall see His king­dom?

Or who can en­ter in?

The pre­cious blood of Je­sus—

Let ev­ery crea­ture know—

Can make the chief of sin­ners

Full whit­er than the snow.

Return to God

O wan­d’rer

Thy pur­chased par­don take;

Thy sins He’ll not re­mem­ber

For thy Re­deem­er’s sake;

He’ll cast them all be­hind Him

Or ’neath the deep­est sea

And love us ev­er free­ly

Throughout eter­ni­ty.
