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!
