No gospel like this feast
64
S.M.
1 No gospel like this feast,
Spread for us, Lord, by Thee;
No prophet nor Evangelist
Preach the glad news so free.
2 All our redemption cost,
All our redemption won;
All it has won for us, the lost,
All it cost Thee, the Son.
3 Thine was the bitter price,
Ours is the free gift given;
Thine was the blood of sacrifice,
Ours is the wine of Heaven.
4 Here we should rest midway,
As on a sacred height;
That darkest and that brightest day
Meeting before our sight.
5 From that dark depth of woes
Thy love for us has trod,
We soar to heights of blest repose
Thy love prepares with God.
6 Till, from self’s chains released,
One sight alone we see,
Still at the cross, as at this feast,
Behold Thee, only Thee!
