God loved the world so that He gave
His only Son the lost to save
That all who would in Him believe
Should ev­er­last­ing life receive.

Christ Je­sus is the Ground of faith,
Who was made flesh and suffered death;
All that confide in Him alone
Are built on this chief Cornerstone.

God would not have the sinner die,
His Son with saving grace is nigh,
His Spir­it in the Word doth teach
How man the bless­èd goal may reach.

Be of good cheer, for God’s own Son
Forgives all sins which thou hast done,
And, jus­ti­fied by Je­sus’ blood,
Thy bap­tism grants the high­est good.

If thou be sick, if death draw near
This truth thy trou­bled heart can cheer:
Christ Je­sus saves my soul from death;
That is the firm­est ground of faith.

Glory to God the Fa­ther, Son,
And Ho­ly Spir­it, Three in One!
To Thee, O bless­èd Tri­ni­ty,
Be praise now and eter­nal­ly!
