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.
