The Gospel Shows the Father's Grace

Author: Matthias Loy, 1828-1915 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 17 hymnals Topics: Christian Home and Education Lyrics: 1 The Gospel shows the Father's grace, Who sent His Son to save our race, Proclaims how Jesus lived and died That we might thus be justified. 2 It sets the Lamb before our eyes, Who made the atoning sacrifice, And calls the souls with guilt oppressed To come and find eternal rest. 3 It brings the Savior's righteousness To robe our souls in royal dress; From all our guilt it brings release And gives the troubled conscience peace. 4 It is the pow'r of God to save From sin and Satan and the grave; It works the faith which firmly clings To all the treasures which it brings. 5 It bears to all the tidings glad And bids their hearts no more be sad; The weary, burdened souls it cheers And banishes their guilty fears. 6 May we in faith its message learn Nor thanklessly its blessings spurn; May we in faith its truth confess And praise the Lord, our righteousness. Scripture: Romans 1:16-17 Used With Tune: HERR JESU CHRIST, DICH ZU UNS WEND
