1 What a mercy, what a treasure
We possess in God's own Word!
Where we read, with sacred pleasure,
Where we read, with sacred pleasure,
Of the love of Christ our Lord.
2 That blest Word reveals the Savior
Whom our souls so deeply need,
O! what mercy, love, and favor,
O! what mercy, love and favor,
That for sinners Christ should bleed!
3 While each wretched heathen nation
Nothing knows, dear Lord, of thee,
In this happy land, salvation,
In this happy land, salvation
Clearly is revealed to me.
4 O, the blessedness of knowing
Christ our Savior's precious love!
Freely on a child bestowing,
Freely on a child bestowing
Grace and mercy from above.
