Church Hymn Book ‎#LXXVI

LXXVI. O Blessed truth the Gospel shows

1 O Blessed truth the Gospel shews,
On which may be relied,
As Peter taught the partial Jews,
All doubts are laid aside.

2 No pref'rence unto man is giv'n,
Because of birth and name;
But all the nations under heav'n,
Have equal right and claim.

3 All those who humbly fear the Lord,
And seek his righteousness,
All those who trust unto his word,
Have endless life and peace.

4 This doctrine through the promis'd land
First to the Jews was shown;
And by the Savior's great command
Made to all nations known.

5 The Jews had crucified and slain,
Jesus up on the tree!
But O, he rose, and lives again,
To all eternity.

6 O happy news sent far abroad!
As prophecied before:
All may be reconcil'd to God,
And live for evermore.
