C.M.

1
Well may we sing! with triumph sing,
 
The great Redeemer’s praise!
 
The glories of the living God,
 
Revealed in Jesus’ face.
“For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” (2 Corinthians 4:6)
2
The love of God it was that sought
 
From sin to set us free;
 
That gave the Son, whose precious blood
 
Has wrought our liberty.
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
“In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.” (1 John 4:9)
3
In Him we read the Father’s love,
 
And find eternal peace;
 
We meet in Him a Savior-God,
 
And fear and terror cease.
“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)
“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.” (Matthew 1:23)
“And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.” (Matthew 1:25)
“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” (1 John 4:18)
4
Then gladly sing, and sound abroad
 
The great Redeemer’s praise;
 
The glories of the living God,
 
The riches of His grace!
“In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.” (Ephesians 1:7)
“That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.” (Ephesians 2:7)
