Blessed be God, our God, Who gave for us His well-beloved Son, The gift of gifts, all other gifts in one; Blessed be God, our God! |
2 |
What will He not bestow! Who freely gave this mighty gift unbought, Unmerited, unheeded, and unsought, What will He not bestow? |
3 |
He spared not His Son! 'Tis this that silences each rising fear, 'Tis this that bids the hard thought disappear; He spared not His Son! |
4 |
Who shall condemn us now? Since Christ has died, and ris'n, and gone above, For us to plead at the right hand of Love; Who shall condemn us now? |
5 |
'Tis God that justifies! Who shall recall His pardon or His grace? Or who the broken chain of guilt replace? 'Tis God that justifies! |
6 |
The victory is ours! For us in might came forth the mighty One; For us He fought the fight, the triumph won: The victory is ours! |
