Lyrics

The Gos­pel of Thy grace
My stub­born heart has won,
For God so loved the world
He gave His on­ly Son,
That

Refrain

Whosoever will be­lieve,
Shall ev­er­last­ing life re­ceive!

Shall ev­er­last­ing life re­ceive!

The ser­pent lift­ed up
Could life and heal­ing give,
So Je­sus on the cross
Bids me to look and live;
For

Refrain

The soul that sin­neth dies:
My aw­ful doom I heard;
I was for­ev­er lost,
But for Thy gra­cious word
That

Refrain

Not to con­demn the world
The Man of sor­rows came;
But that the world might have
Salvation thro’ His name;
For

Refrain

Lord, help my un­be­lief!
Give me the peace of faith,
To rest with child­like trust
On what Thy Gos­pel saith,
That
