16. God in Mercy Sent His Son

7s.
by H.K. Burlingham
1
God in mercy sent His Son
 
To a world by sin undone;
 
Jesus Christ was crucified — 
 
’Twas for sinners Jesus died.
 
Oh, the glory of the grace,
 
Shining in the Savior’s face!
 
Telling sinners from above,
 
"God is light" and "God is love."
2
Sin and death no more shall reign,
 
Jesus died, and lives again!
 
In the glory’s highest height,
 
See Him, God’s supreme delight.
3
All who in His name believe
 
Everlasting life receive;
 
Lord of all is Jesus now,
 
Every knee to Him must bow.
4
Christ the Lord will come again,
 
He who suffered once will reign,
 
Every tongue at last will own,
 
"Jesus Christ is Lord" alone.
