Blessed be God, our God,
|
|
| 1. | 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 sparŠd not His Son! |
| | 'Tis this that silences each rising fear, |
| | 'Tis this that bids the hard thought disappear; |
| | He sparŠd 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! |
