6.10.10.6. sung to Hereford New 1 BLESSED be God, our God! Who gave for us His well-beloved Son, The gift of gifts, all other gifts in one --- Blessed be God, our God! 2 What will He not bestow, Who freely gave this mighty gift unbought, Unmerited, unheeded and unsought --- What will He not bestow? 3 He spared not His Son! 'Tis this that silences each rising fear; 'Tis this that bids the hard thought disappear --- He spared not His Son! 4 Who shall condemn us now? Since Christ has died, and risen, and gone above, For us to plead at the right hand of Love, Who shall condemn us now? 5 'Tis God that justifies! Who shall recall the pardon or the grace, Or who the broken chain of guilt replace? 'Tis God that justifies! 6 The victory is ours! For us in might came forth the Mighty One; For us He fought the fight, the triumph won --- The victory is ours! |
