"Salvation unto Us Has Come"

In my post on the Biblical sources for "Salvation unto Us Has Come," I was unable to identify any specific sources since the citations in the hymnal overlapped so much.  Last month, however, I stumbled upon a few.

I was reading Titus and noticed that Titus 2:11 ("For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people") bears some resemblance to the first two lines of the hymn:  "Salvation unto us has come / By God's free grace and favor."

About a week later, KFUO tweeted the ninth verse, and I realized that the lines "And by its fruits true faith is known, / With love and hope increasing" echo the qualities listed in 1 Corinthians 13:13:  "So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love."  I also noticed that the lines "Works serve our neighbor and supply / The proof that faith is living" seem to refer to the last part of James 2.  Verse 17 is the most similar, although it has a slightly different point of view:  "So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead."
