47*. 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.
“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures. And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.” (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)
“I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.” (Revelation 1:18)
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 shall own,
 
"Worthy is the Lamb" alone.
“Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.” (Revelation 5:12)
