Jesus dying on the tree,
Means eternal life for thee,
Means that grace o’er sin hath sway,
Means that love hath had its way.
Jesus dying on the tree,
Means Jehovah’s just decree,
Words of Him who cannot lie,
“Whoso sinneth—he shall die.”
Jesus dying on the tree,
Means, this sentence past on me
Has descended on His head,
And that He has died instead.
Jesus dying on the tree,
Means that mercy now is free,
Free to bless since He has died
And God’s throne is satisfied.
Jesus dying on the tree,
Means—and O! how sweet to see!
That my sins are all forgiven,
And that I’m made fit for heaven.
Jesus dying on the tree,
Means that I e’er long shall be,
Through His precious blood alone,
Soon in glory, safe at home!
