Music by Unknown, words by Horatius Bonar
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!
What will He not bestow!
Who freely gave this mighty gift, unbought,
Unmerited, unheeded, and unsought,
What will He not bestow?
He did not spare His Son!
It's this that silences each rising fear,
It's this that makes the hard thought disappear;
He did not spare His Son!
Who shall condemn us now?
Since Christ has died, and risen, and gone above,
For us to plead at the right hand of Love;
Who shall condemn us now?
It's God who justifies!
Who shall recall His pardon or His grace?
Or who the broken chain of guilt replace?
It's God who justifies!
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!
