Representative Text

1 Så älskade Gud världen all,
Att han utgaf sin ende Son,
Att hvar och en, som på honom tror,
Skall få ett evigt lif.

2 Ty däruti står kärleken,
Ej det vi hafva älskat Gud,
Men d¨ruti, att han älskat oss
Och gifvit oss sin Son.

3 Ja, därpå är Guds kärlek stor
Vorden uppenbar till oss,
Att till försoning för all vår synd
Han hafver sändt sin Son.

4 Han hafver oss sändt Jesus Krist,
Att på honom vi skola tro,
Att genom honom vi lefva må
Och älska för hans skull.
