25. Whosoe'er Believeth

1 God so lov’d this sinful world,
His only son He gave,
That we might salvation have
And vict’ry o’er the grave.

Refrain:
Whosoe’er believeth on the Son of God,
Shall not perish,
Shall not perish.
Whosoe’er believeth on the Son of God,
Shall have everlasting life.

2 Jesus Christ the King above,
Honor and praise to Thee,
Left His throne because of love
For sinners lost like me. [Refrain]

3 Love divine so full, so free;
O matchless, boundless grace;
He for each believing one
In heav’n prepares a place. [Refrain]
