Good News (Bilhorn)

Jesus died for you and me

Is it not good news?

Now there’s par­don full and free

Is it not good news?

On the cross our sins He bore

That on Heav’n’s eter­nal shore

We might live for­ev­er­more

Is it not good news?

It is fin­ished

Je­sus said

Is it not good news?

Sin and death are cap­tive led

Is it not good news?

In the grave our Sav­ior laid

And the last great tri­bute paid

Free the sac­ri­fice He made

Is it not good news?

From the grave the Sav­ior rose

Is it not good news?

Gained the vic­to­ry o’er His foes

Is it not good news?

Christ the law did sa­tis­fy

Christ as­cend­ed up on high

We shall meet Him by and by

Is it not good news?

Now He pleads for us on high

Is it not good news?

Pleads that we may nev­er die

Is it not good news?

Soon He’ll come to claim His own

All who trust in Him alone

We shall ga­ther round His throne

Is it not good news?
