GREAT IS THE GOSPEL

Great is the gospel of our glorious God,

Where mercy met the anger of God‟s rod;

A penalty was paid and pardon bought,

And sinners lost at last to Him were brought:

O let the praises of my heart be Thine,

For Christ has died that I may call Him mine,

That I may sing with those who dwell above,

Adoring, praising Jesus, King of love.

Great is the mystery of godliness,

Great is the work of God‟s own holiness;

It moves my soul, and causes me to long

For greater joys than to the earth belong:

The Spirit vindicated Christ our Lord,

And angels sang with joy and sweet accord;

The nations heard, a dark world flamed with light

When Jesus rose in glory and in might
