English poem
Hymn CXXXVI. Common Metre. Redemption
by Anonymous
Jesus, th' eternal Son of God, Whom heavenly powers obey, The bosom of his father left, And enter'd human clay.
Into our sinful world he came, The messenger of grace; And on the cursed tree expir'd, A victim in our place.
Transgressors of the deepest stain In him salvation find; His blood removes the foulest guilt, His spirit heals the mind.
Our Jesus saves from sin and death, His promises are sure; And on this rock our souls may rest, Immoveably secure.
O let these tidings be receiv'd, With universal joy; And let the high angelic praise· Our tuneful powers employ.
Glory to God, who gave his Son, To bear our shame and pain; Hence peace on earth and grace to man Through all succession reign.
