Good News (Ryle)

Good news from Heav’n

good news for thee

There flows a par­don

full and free

To guil­ty sin­ners

through the blood

Of the in­car­nate Son of God;

He paid the debt that thou didst owe

He suf­fered death for thee be­low

He bore the wrath di­vine for thee

He groaned and bled on Cal­va­ry.

Good news from Heav’n

good news for thee

There flows a par­don

full and free

To guil­ty sin­ners

through the blood

Of the in­car­nate Son of God.

Good news from Heav’n

good news for thee

The Sav­ior cries

Come un­to Me

All ye who toil

with fears op­pressed;

Come

wea­ry one

oh

come and rest.

He loves thee with o’er­flow­ing love

He hears thy pray­er in Heav’n above

He all thy pas­ture shall pre­pare

And lead thee with a shep­herd’s care.

Good news from Heav’n

good news for thee

Has echoed from eter­ni­ty;

And loud shall our ho­san­nas ring

When with the ran­somed throng we sing.

Worthy the Lamb

whose pre­cious blood

Has made us kings and priests to God;

Our harps we’ll tune to nob­lest strains

And glo­ry give to Him who reigns.
