15. Oh, What a Gift the Father Gave

C.M.
1
Oh, what a gift the Father gave
 
When He bestowed His Son!
 
To save poor, ruined, guilty man,
 
By sin defiled, undone.
2
For I was lost and vile indeed!
 
To sin a willing prey;
 
Till God in mercy interposed,
 
And turned my night to day.
3
Now I can call the Savior mine,
 
Though all unworthy still;
 
I’m sheltered by His precious blood,
 
Beyond the reach of ill.
4
Come all who trust in Jesus now,
 
And tell your joys abroad;
 
Let thankful hymns of praise ascend
 
For Christ, the gift of God.
