Christ My Song - 1318
Sing of him who bore our guilt
(Thomas Kelly/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
Sing of him who bore our guilt.
"The Lord is good." (Nahum 1,7)
1. Sing of him who bore our guilt,
and for us the curse sustained:
'tis on him our hope is built,
bitter was the cup he drained:
sing of him, 'tis meet we should,
say ye, that "the Lord is good". PDF - Midi
2. When we lay beneath our load;
when no arm but his could save;
then the Lord his mercy shewed,
then the Lord our sin forgave:
sing of him, 'tis meet we should,
say ye, that "the Lord is good".
3. Blessed is his people's lot,
happy they who bear his name:
God, their God, forgets them not,
faithful he, and still the same.
Sing of him, 'tis meet we should,
say ye, that "the Lord is good".
4. Forward look, a day is near,
when "the trump of God" shall sound;
then will Jesus re-appear,
and his people's joy abound.
Sing of him, 'tis meet we should,
say ye, that "the Lord is good".
Thomas Kelly, Hymns on various passages of Scripture, ca. 1853, Hymn 219.
