1 God loved our erring mortal race,
And thro' His Son bestowed His grace,
That all who will in Him believe
May everlasting life receive.

2 Christ Jesus is the ground of faith,
Who was made flesh and suffered death;
All who confide in Him alone
Have built on this chief Cornerstone.

3 God would not have the sinner die;
His Son with saving grace is nigh
His Spirit in the Word doth teach
How man the blessèd goal may reach.

4 Glory to God the Father, Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in One!
To Thee, O blessèd Trinity,
Be praise throughout eternity!

Amen.
