God Loved the World So That He Gave

God loved the world so that He gave

His on­ly Son the lost to save

That all who would in Him be­lieve

Should ev­er­last­ing life re­ceive.

Christ Je­sus is the Ground of faith

Who was made flesh and suf­fered death;

All that con­fide in Him alone

Are built on this chief Cor­ner­stone.

God would not have the sin­ner die

His Son with sav­ing grace is nigh

His Spir­it in the Word doth teach

How man the bless­èd goal may reach.

Be of good cheer

for God’s own Son

Forgives all sins which thou hast done

And

jus­ti­fied by Je­sus’ blood

Thy bap­tism grants the high­est good.

If thou be sick

if death draw near

This truth thy trou­bled heart can cheer:

Christ Je­sus saves my soul from death;

That is the firm­est ground of faith.

Glory to God the Fa­ther

Son

And Ho­ly Spir­it

Three in One!

To Thee

O bless­èd Tri­ni­ty

Be praise now and eter­nal­ly!
