Lyrics

Verse 1 The Gospel shows the Father's grace, Who sent his Son to save our race, Proclaims how Jesus lived and died that man might thus be justified. Verse 2 It sets the Lamb before our eyes, Who made th'atoning sacrifice, And calls the souls with guilt oppressed to come and find eternal rest. Verse 3 It brings the Savior's righteousness our souls to robe in royal dress; From all our guilt it brings release and gives the troubled conscience peace. Verse 4 It is the pow'r of God to save from sin and Satan and the grave; It works the faith, which firmly clings to all the treasures which it brings. Verse 5 It bears to all the tidings glad and bids their hearts no more be sad; The heavy laden souls it cheers and banishes their guilty fears. Verse 6 May we in faith its tidings learn nor thanklessly its blessings spurn; May we in faith its truth confess and praise the Lord our Righteousness!...
