“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God." (1 Peter 7:15.)
Jesus lived—He lived for sinners,
Outcast, in the world He made;
Lived, that in His blessed person
God's full grace might be displayed.
Jesus died—He died for sinners,
On. the cross He cried, " Forgive
Died, that lost and ruined rebels
Through His precious blood might live.
Jesus rose—He rose for sinners,
Proving that the work was done;
Sweet assurance that the Father
Was well pleased with His Son.
Jesus lives—He lives forever,
High upon the Father's throne;
Liveth evermore to succor
Those who make His love their own.
Jesus loves—He loveth sinners,
Loveth more than tongue can say;
None that trust on Him for mercy
Will He ever turn away.
