Tune: Herongate
(\'It is a thing most wonderful\')
Romans 5 v.6-11
*********
For when we were with strength without
Christ came unto our help, no doubt
At the right time He for us died
For us salvation did provide
We the ungodly, and scarcely
For a righteous person, so be
Will one die, yet maybe one dare
Die for a good person, but rare
But God to us His love commends
Towards us, love that never ends
In that while we were sinners still
Christ died for us, do Father\'s will
Much more now, being justified
By His blood, we in Him confide
And shall be saved from God\'s wrath through
Him who saves us from our sins true
Saved by Christ\'s death, who rose again
The living Saviour of all men* (*mankind)
God\'s only Son for us atones
For He does save, and He alone
