The Gospel Shows the Father's Grace

Author: Matthias Loy Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 17 hymnals Scripture: John 3:16 Lyrics: 1 The Gospel shows the Father's grace, Who sent His Son to save our race, Proclaims how Jesus lived and died That we might thus be justified. 2 It sets the Lamb before our eyes, Who made th'atoning sacrifice, And call the souls with guilt opprest To come and find eternal rest. 3 It brings the Savior's righteousness Our souls to robe in royal dress; From all our guilt it brings release And gives the troubled conscience peace. 4 It is the pow'r of God to save From sin and Satan and the grave; It works the faith, which firmly clings To all the treasures which it brings. 5 It bears to all the tidings glad And bids their hearts no more be sad; The heavy-laden souls it cheers And banishes their guilty fears. 6 May we in faith its tidings learn Nor thanklessly its blessings spurn; May we in faith its truth confess And praise the Lord our Righteousness! Amen. Topics: The Word Law and Gospel Used With Tune: HERR JESU CHRIST, DICH
