 1 

Blessed be God, our God,

Who gave for us His well-beloved Son,

The gift of gifts, all other gifts in one;

Blessed be God, our God!

 
 2 

What will He not bestow!

Who freely gave this mighty gift unbought,

Unmerited, unheeded, and unsought,

What will He not bestow?

 
 3 

He sparèd not His Son!

'Tis this that silences each rising fear,

'Tis this that bids the hard thought disappear;

He sparèd not His Son!

 
 4 

Who shall condemn us now?

Since Christ has died, and ris'n, and gone above,

For us to plead at the right hand of Love;

Who shall condemn us now?

 
 5 

'Tis God that justifies!

Who shall recall His pardon or His grace?

Or who the broken chain of guilt replace?

'Tis God that justifies!

 
 6 

The victory is ours!

For us in might came forth the mighty One;

For us He fought the fight, the triumph won:

The victory is ours!
