435. God in mercy sent His Son

1.

God in mercy sent His Son

To a world by sin undone;

Jesus Christ was crucified —

'Twas for sinners Jesus died.

2.

Oh ! the glory of the grace,

Shining in the Saviour's face,

Telling sinners from above,

"God is Light" and "God is Love."

3.

Sin and death no more shall reign,

Jesus died and lives again.

In the glory's highest height

See Him God's supreme delight.

4.

All who in His name believe,

Everlasting life receive;

Lord of all is Jesus now;

Every knee to Him must bow.

5.

Christ the Lord will come again;

He who suffered once will reign;

Every tongue at last shall own,

"Worthy is the Lamb" alone.
