6.6.6.8.8.
1 The gospel of Thy grace,
My stubborn heart has won;
For God so loved the world,
He gave His only Son,
That “Whosoever will believe,
Shall everlasting life receive!”
2 The serpent “lifted up”
Could life and healing give,
So Jesus on the cross,
Bids me to look and live;
For “Whosoever will believe,
Shall everlasting life receive!”
3 “The soul that sinneth dies:”
My awful doom I heard;
I was for ever lost,
But for Thy gracious word
That “Whosoever will believe,
Shall everlasting life receive!”
4 “Not to condemn the world”
The “Man of Sorrows” came;
But that the world might have
Salvation through His name;
For “Whosoever will believe,
Shall everlasting life receive!”
5 “Lord, help my unbelief!”
Give me the peace of faith,
To rest with child-like trust
On what Thy gospel saith,
That “Whosoever will believe,
Shall everlasting life receive!”
