So loved he the world that he gave us his Son,
who yielded his life an atonement for sin,
and opened the life-gate that all may go in.

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the earth hear his voice!

Let the people rejoice!
Oh, come to the Father, through Jesus the Son,
and give him the glory! Great things he has done!
2 O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,
to every believer the promise of God;
for every offender who truly believes,
that moment from Jesus a pardon receives. [Refrain]
3 Great things he has taught us, great things he has done,
and great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son:
but purer, and higher, and greater will be
our joy and our wonder, when Jesus we see. [Refrain] Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Discipleship; Adoration Of God; Salvation and Redemption Used With Tune: TO GOD BE THE GLORY
