We sing the praise of him who died

Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1855 Hymnal: Together in Song #347 (1999) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Martyrs Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died, of him who died upon the cross; the sinners' hope though all deride: for this we count the world but 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 every bitter cup: 4 it makes the coward spirit brave and nerves the feeble arm for fight; it takes all 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 heaven above.
