Salt of our Savior

Read:  Psalm 97 / Proverbs 16 / Leviticus 2 / Ephesians 3

Psalm 97:12 Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
Proverbs 16:6 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.
Leviticus 2:13 Thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt...  with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt.
Ephesians 3:18,19 Comprehend...  what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge...  filled with all the fullness of God.

As salt preserves and also seasons
The food we store and also flavor,
May our remembrance give us reasons
To thank and worship Christ our Savior! 

By grace and truth our sin was purged;
By godly fear we fled to Christ. 
What wondrous love is this that urged
Our Savior to be sacrificed!
