Jesus lived—He lived for sinners,
Outcast, in the world He made;
Lived, that in His blessed person
God’s full grace might be displayed.
Jesus died—He died for sinners,
On the cross He cried, “Forgive;”
Died, that lost and ruined rebels
Through His precious blood might live.
Jesus rose—He rose for sinners,
Proving that the work was done;
Sweet assurance that the Father
Wes well pleased with His Son.
Jesus lives—He lives for sinners,
High upon the Father’s throne;
Liveth, evermore to succour
Those who make His love their own.
Jesus loves—He loveth sinners,
Loveth more than tongue can say;
Prove Him now, accept His mercy,
Turn not from such love away.
