We Sing the Praise of Him Who Died

Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1855 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 192 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 5:12 Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of Him who died, Of Him who died upon the cross. The sinner's hope let all deride; For this we count the world but loss. 2 Inscribed upon the cross we see In shining letters, "God is love." He bears our sins upon the tree; He brings us mercy from above. 3 The cross! It takes our guilt away; It holds the fainting spirit up; It cheers with hope the gloomy day And sweetens ev'ry bitter cup. 4 It makes the coward spirit brave And nerves the feeble arm for fight; It takes the terror from the grave And gilds the bed of death with light; 5 The balm of life, the cure of woe, The measure and the pledge of love, The sinner's refuge here below, The angels' theme in heav'n above. 6 To Christ, who won for sinners grace By bitter grief and anguish sore, Be praise from all the ransomed race Forever and forevermore.
