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.
