How He died that we might know the Father's love;
Let us tell to all the world His compassion, [above.
How He ever lives to plead for us
Let us tell ... the wondrous story,
How He died . . . upon the tree ;
Unto Him be all the praise and the glory ;
He hath suffered that from sin we might be
free. . . .
2 Let us praise Him for the words full of comfort,
That He left for us recorded long ago;
He is near to every one that believeth,
And His mercy to the faithful He will show.
3 Let us praise Him for the soul-cheering promise
Of the mansions that our eyes shall yet behold ;
When we gather with the blest in
His kingdom,
Where the riches of His grace can ne'er be told.
