302. The Bible Tells Us Jesus Came

8.6.8.6.6.
1
The Bible tells us Jesus came
 
From glory bright and fair — 
 
God’s perfect, sinless, spotless Lamb — 
 
His mercy to declare,
 
His mercy to declare.
2
The Bible tells us Jesus died
 
A sacrifice for sin;
 
The gates of heaven to open wide,
 
That we may enter in,
 
That we may enter in.
3
The Bible tells us Jesus rose,
 
And left the silent grave,
 
Triumphant over all His foes,
 
The mighty One to save,
 
The mighty One to save.
4
The Bible tells us Jesus lives
 
Again upon the throne;
 
The blessed proof the Father gives
 
That mercy’s work is done,
 
That mercy’s work is done.
5
The Bible tells us He will come
 
To take His saints away,
 
To dwell with Him in His blest home
 
Through everlasting day,
 
Through everlasting day.
6
The Bible tells us He will reign
 
O’er all the earth ere long;
 
When heaven and earth shall wake the strain
 
Of an eternal song,
 
Of an eternal song.
7
The Bible tells us all may come,
 
And drink at mercy’s stream;
 
That Jesus soon will share this home
 
With all who trust in Him,
 
With all who trust in Him.
