The Father sent the Son - The Sent One
(Hannah K. Burlingham/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)

The Sent One.

1. The Father sent the Son
  a ruined world to save;
man meted to the sinless One
  the cross – the grave:
blessed Substitute from God,
  wrath's awful cup he drained;
laid down his life, and e'en the tomb's
  reproach sustained. PDF - Midi

2. Earth shuddered as he died –
  God's well-belovèd Son:
the darkness sought his woes to hide:
  his work is done!
He lives! to die no more:
  joy dwells upon his brow;
his agonies untold are o'er;
  he triumphs now!

3. The new and living Way
  stands open now to heaven;
thence, where the blood is seen alway
  God's Gift is given.
The river of his grace,
  through righteousness supplied,
is flowing o'er the barren place
  where Jesus died!

4. The Lord shall come again!
  The Conqueror must reign!
No tongue but shall confess him then,
  the Lamb once slain:
Jesus is worthy now
  all homage to receive;
worthy that all to him shall bow,
  the Truth believe!
