GREAT indeed is God’s salvation,
Wondrous is the way of love,
Published by the revelation
Sent in mercy from above.
God looked down upon the ruin
Wrought throughout the world by sin.
Knowing men, and all men’s doing,
Brought, Himself, a Saviour in.
Thus the Heir of Life and Glory
Walked on earth, alone and poor;
Breathed not out His matchless story,
Chose all sorrows to endure.
Thus was Israel’s Shepherd smitten,
Thus God’s spotless Lamb was slain;
O that Cross! e’en there ‘twas written,
He who died must live again.
“JESUS” was the record― “JESUS!”
“JESUS!”―mighty saving Name!
“Christ the Lord,” behold Him―
“JESUS,”
Whom the highest heavens claim.
Blessed they who now receiving
Life in the ascended One,
Yield themselves to God, believing
Christ the Head and they are one!
