27. Oh, What a Glorious Truth Is This

8.6.8.6.8.8.8.6.
1
Oh, what a glorious truth is this — 
 
Jesus died, Jesus died;
 
Has opened up the path of bliss;
 
Jesus died, Jesus died;
 
God loved the world, His Son He gave,
 
That all who do in Him believe
 
Should a full, gracious pardon have;
 
Jesus died, Jesus died.
2
To save my soul from death and hell,
 
Jesus died, Jesus died;
 
Such love amazing who can tell?
 
Jesus died, Jesus died;
 
Yes, He for wretched men was slain,
 
That they through Him might life obtain,
 
And everlasting glory gain;
 
Jesus died, Jesus died.
3
Oh, tell it unto all around,
 
Jesus died, Jesus died;
 
’Tis such a precious, blessed sound — 
 
Jesus died, Jesus died;
 
Entreat poor sinners to rely
 
On that which brings the guilty nigh,
 
E’en to the blood of Christ to fly;
 
Jesus died, Jesus died.
4
Soon heaven shall raise the happy song,
 
Jesus died, Jesus died;
 
Which endless ages shall prolong,
 
Jesus died, Jesus died;
 
By virtue of that precious blood
 
Believers are brought nigh to God;
 
Oh, spread the glorious news abroad — 
 
Jesus died, Jesus died.
