Passion Prosperings

Tune: Louvan

('Lord of all being, throned afar')

1 Peter 1 v.18-21

********

Christ-child to earth did come for all

All may be saved who on Him call

Not corruptible things redeem

But by Christ's blood, its high esteem

 

Not silver or gold, cannot pay

Not open up to us heaven's way

'Tis only Christ, by His life free

Given, that we delivered be

 

That precious blood, it does atone

It be sufficiency alone

To cleanse, forgive, ransom each one

He has true salvation's work done

 

Blood of Christ, He a lamb, no spot

Innocent, guiltless, sinless lot

Taking our sins, my sins, that we

Forgiven, new life may have, see

 

No blemish, defect, offering

Sacrifice of self did He bring

Giving His life, it foreordained

To heal in each one's life sin-stained

 

Now He be revealed, and on cross

Did pay price to redeem our loss

By Him we do in God believe

Christ as our Saviour we receive

 

God did raise Him up from the dead

Gave Him glory, our living Head

So that our faith and hope might be

In God throughout eternity
