We sing the praise of him who died

Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1855 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 194 hymnals Topics: Year B Easter 5 Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died, of him who died upon the cross; the sinner's hope, though all deride, will turn to gain this bitter 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 to face the darkness of the night; 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.
