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 the Son.
Jesus lives—He lived for sinners,
High upon the Father's throne;
Liveth, evermore to succor
Those who made His love their own.
Jesus loves—He loveth sinners,
Loveth more than tongue can say;
Prove Him now, accept His mercy,
Turn not from such love away.
