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!
What will He not bestow?
Who freely gave
this mighty gift, unbought,
Unmerited, unheeded,
and unsought;
What will He not bestow?
He sparèd not His Son!
‘Tis this that silences
each rising fear,
‘Tis this that bids the
hard thought disappear;
He sparèd not His Son!
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?
‘Tis God that justifies!
Who shall recall His pardon
or His grace?
Or who the broken chain
of guilt replace?
‘Tis God that justifies!
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!
