Saviour from sin, from death, from hell

Verse 1
Saviour from sin, from death, from hell
Thee, Jesus Christ, with joy we own,
The man who lov’d our souls so well,
The Father’s everlasting Son.

Verse 2
Thou for our sake a man wast made,
The burthen of a virgin’s womb,
Didst live, and suffer in our stead,
And rise triumphant from the tomb.

Verse 3
What hath thy death for sinners gain’d?
What hath thy life to sinners given?
For every soul of man obtain’d?
Pardon, and holiness, and heaven.

Verse 4
Soon as our broken hearts repent,
Soon as I do in thee believe,
The power into my soul is sent,
And then my pardon I receive.
