Author: August Crull, 1845-1923 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #391 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Christian Worship (1993) Lyrics: 1 God loved the world so that he gave
His only Son the lost to save
That all who would in him believe
Should everlasting life receive.
2 Christ is the solid rock of faith,
Who was made flesh and suffered death.
All who confide in him alone
Are built on this chief cornerstone.
3 God would not have the sinner die--
His Son with saving grace is nigh.
His Spirit in the Word does teach
How we the blessed goal may reach.
4 Be of good cheer, for God's own Son
Forgives the sins that you have done.
You're justified by Jesus' blood;
Baptized, you are a child of God.
5 When you are sick, when death draws near,
This truth your troubled heart can cheer:
Christ Jesus saves my soul from death--
This is the anchor of my faith!
6 Glory to God the Father, Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in One!
To you, O blessed Trinity,
Be praise now and eternally! Topics: Justification; Justification Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CRISPIN
