Of the Redemption of Man

Saviour from sin, from death, from hell,
Thee, Jesus Christ, with joy we own,
The Man who loved our souls so well,
The Father's everlasting Son.

Thou, for our sake, a man wast made.
The burden of a virgin's womb.
Didst live, and suffer in our stead,
And rise triumphant from the tomb.

What hath Thy death for sinners gain'd?
What hath Thy life to sinners given?
For every soul of man obtain'd?
Pardon, and holiness, and heaven.

Soon as our broken hearts repent,
Soon as I do in Thee believe.
The power into my soul is sent.
And then my pardon I receive.
