In His love and ten¤der mer¤cy,
Je¤sus left the Fa¤ther’s heart,
Moved by in¤fi¤nite com¤pas¤sion,
Came on earth to take my part,
I was un¤der con¤dem¤na¤tion,
Death had claimed me as its own,
Je¤sus came and paid my ran¤som,
For my sins He did a¤tone.

Chorus:
God’s most fear¤ful wrath ap¤peas¤ing,
When He drank the cup for me.
All His strict¤est sense of jus¤tice
Sat¤is¤fied on Cal¤va¤ry.

How could I but love and serve Him,
Since He set the pris¤’ners free,
Led me forth to light and glad¤ness,
Life and im¤mor¤tal¤i¤ty?
I will praise the name of Je¤sus,
He is all my peace and rest,
Praise Him while I have my be¤ing,
In the man¤sions of the blest.

I am go¤ing home to Je¤sus
When my life on earth is done,
I will serve Him in that cit¤y
Where they do not need the sun,
God the Fa¤ther, Son and Spir¤it
Light¤en all that Ho¤ly place,
O, what joy and full of glo¤ry,
When I see the Sav¤iour’s face.
