his name Jesus, for he shall save his
people from their SIM" 1.-The blood of
Jesus Christ his son cleauseth from all

When temptations sore come upon US,
let US call on the name of the Lord,
and he will come and save US. "He
will not suffer us to be tempted above
that we are able but will with the
temptation promise way OF escape"
And he will save us finally and eternal
ly in his heavenly kingdom.
