Hymn 229
For God so loved the sinful world
- For God so loved the sinful world,
His Son He freely gave,
That whosoever would believe.
Eternal life should have.
'Tis true O yes, 'tis true,
God's wonderful promise is true;
For I've trusted, and tested, and tried it.
And I know God's promise is true.
- I was away ward wand'ring child,
A slave to sin and fear.
Until this blessed promise fell.
Like music on my ear.
- The "whosoever" of the Lord,
I trusted was for me;
I took Him at His gracious word.
From sin to set me free.
- Eternal life began below
Now fills my hearts and soul:
I'll sing His praise for evermore.
Who has redeemed my soul.
