121. Glory Unto Jesus Be

7s.

Glory unto Jesus be!
 
From the curse who set us free;
 
All our guilt on Him was laid,
 
He the ransom fully paid.
“Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father. To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.” (Galatians 1:4-5)
“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.” (Galatians 3:13)
“All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.” (Isaiah 53:6)

All that blessèd work is done,
 
God’s well-pleasèd with His Son;
 
He has raised Him from the dead,
 
Set Him over all as Head.
3
This we know, and cease to mourn,
 
Patient wait His sure return:
 
For His saints with Him shall reign — 
 
"Come, Lord Jesus, come! Amen!"
