For the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give
His life a ransom for many.
For there is One God and One Mediator between God and men,
The Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all.
No gospel like this feast,
Spread for us, Lord, by Thee;
No prophet nor Evangelist
Preach the glad news so free.
All our redemption cost,
All our redemption won;
All it has won for us, the lost,
All it cost Thee, the Son.
Thine was the bitter price,
Ours is the free gift given;
Thine was the blood of sacrifice,
Ours is the wine of Heaven.
Here we should rest midway,
As on sacred height;
The darkest and the brightest day
Meeting before our sight.
From the dark depth of woes
Thy love for us has trod,
We soar to heights of blest repose
Thy love prepares with God.
Till, from self’s chain released,
One sight alone we see,
Still at the cross, as at this feast,
Behold Thee, only Thee.
(By Mrs.Rundal Charles)
NOTHING SHALL BE ABLE TO SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD
WHICH IS IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD.
IF GOD IS FOR US, WHO CAN BE AGAINST US?
