The Gospel Alphabet

Listen from:
ALL, all have sinned! God’s word declares;
Have thus come short of heaven.
But ‘twas for sinful, guilty man
That God’s own Son was given.
Christ died for the ungodly ones.
For those whose strength is gone.
Delivers from the coming wrath,
And brings them to His throne.
Eternal life Christ gives to all,
Who bow to Him as Lord;
Forgiveness full they know e’en now,
Who trust His faithful word.
Grace brings salvation to the lost,
No sinner need despair;
How then shall we escape, unless
We to the Lord repair?
In Christ all condemnation’s gone,
And God is glorified;
Justly He pardons all who come
And trust in Him who died.
Kings’ they are made, and priests to God.
Their sins are washed away.
Loved with a Father’s love, they know
His grace from day to day.
Mercy and truth are now agreed,
And peace and justice meet;
Now God can gladly welcome man Before the mercy-seat.
O, wondrous love, O, matchless grace
The plan devised by God.
Pardon and peace are now revealed
Through faith in Jesus’ blood.
Quickened by God the Holy Ghost,
And newborn from above.
Redemption now is known in Christ,
Fruit of the Father’s love.
Salvation is of God alone,
To Him all praise is due.
There’s nothing wanted, blessed thought,
For we could nothing do.
Unto His name, the Saviour-God
Be ceaseless praises given.
Vast is His love! Boundless His grace!
The triumph song of heaven.
We bow before Thee, Jesus, Lord,
Our Saviour and our Friend.
‘Xalted on the throne of God,
Thou lovest to the end.
Yes, blessed Lord, Thy claims we own,
For Thine alone are we.
Zealously would we serve Thee here, Until Thy face we see.
