Religion

Jesus, the mortal Son of Man,
While humbly sojourning below,
Had power to purge our guilty stain,
And did His pardoning grace bestow:
But now He hath for sinners died.
But now He doth for ever live
Triumphant at His Father's side
Can Christ the Lord no more forgive?

Exalted on Thy glorious throne,
Thee, Prince of Peace by faith we see,
To make Thy power on sinners known,
To' impart Thy grace and purity:
A Saviour still in Thee we have.
Our Friend on earth, our Friend in heaven,
And when they trust Thy power to save,
A helpless world are all forgiven.
