42. Eternal Life

1 For God so loved the world, He gave
His only begotten Son,
That whosoever believeth in Him
Should have eternal life.

Refrain:
The gift of God is eternal life,
The gift of God is eternal life,
The gift of God is eternal life,
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

2 Lord, Thou hast saved my soul from death,
And freed my eyes from tears;
Before Thee I will live and walk
Through all the changing years. [Refrain]

3 With Thy good counsel while I live,
Lord, Thou wilt safely guide,
And into glory afterward
Receive me to abide. [Refrain]

4 Goodness and mercy all my life
Shall surely follow me,
And in God’s house forevermore
My dwelling place shall be. [Refrain]
