The gospel of Thy grace
My stubborn heart has won;
For God so loved the world,
He gave His only Son,
That “Whosoever will believe,
Shall everlasting life receive!”
The serpent “lifted up”
Could life and healing give,
So Jesus on the cross
Once died that we might live;
For “Whosoever will believe,
Shall everlasting life receive!”
“The soul that sinneth dies,”
My awful doom I heard;
I was forever lost,
But for Thy gracious word,
That “Whosoever will believe,
Shall everlasting life receive!”
“Not to condemn the world”
The “Man of Sorrows” came;
But that the world might have
Salvation through His name;
For “Whosoever will believe,
Shall everlasting life receive!”
