The Gospel Shows The Father's Grace

1. The Gos- pel shows the Fa- ther's grace, Who sent his Son to save our race, Pro- claims how Je- sus lived and died That man might thus be jus- ti- fied.

2. It sets the Lamb be- fore our eyes, Who made th'a- ton- ing sac- ri- fice, And calls the souls with guilt opp- ressed To come and find e- ter- nal rest.

3. It brings the Sa- vior's right- eous- ness Our souls to robe in ro- yal dress; From all our guilt it brings re- lease And gives the trou- bled con- science peace.

4. It is the pow'r of God to save From sin and Sa- tan and the grave; It works the faith, which firm- ly clings To all the trea- sures which it brings.

5. It bears to all the ti- dings glad And bids their hearts no more be sad; The hea- vy la- den souls it cheers And ba- nish- es their guilt- y fears.
