CCXLV. The Gospel

1 Repent, ye Sons of Men, repent;
Hear the good Tidings God has sent,
Of sinners sav'd, and Sins forgiv'n,
And Beggars rais'd to reign in Heav'n,
Beggars, Beggars, Beggars, Beggars, Beggars,
rais'd to reign in Heav'n.

2 God sent his Son to die for us,
Die to redeem us from the Curse,
He took our Weakness; bore our Load;
And dearly bought us with his Blood,
Dearly dearly, dearly, dearly, dearly,
bought us with his Blood.

3 In Guilt's dark Dungeon when we lay;
Mercy cry'd "Spare;" and Justice, "Slay;"
But Jesus answer'd, "Set them free;
"And pardon them; and punish me."
Pardon, Pardon, Pardon, Pardon, Pardon
them; and punish me.

4 Salvation is of God alone;
Life Everlasting in his Son;
And he, that gave his Son to bleed,
Will freely give us all we need.
Freely, freely, freely, freely, freely
give us all we need.

5 Believe the Gospel and rejoice,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful Voice;
His Goodness praise, his wonders tell,
Who ransom'd all our souls from Hell.
Ransom'd, ransom'd, ransom'd, ransom'd, ransom'd
all our souls from Hell.
