We sing the praise of Him who died
- We sing the praise of Him who died,
Of Him who died upon the Cross;
The sinner's hope let men deride,
For this we count the world but loss. - Inscribed upon the Cross we see
In shining letters, God is love!
He bears our sins upon the tree,
He brings us mercy from above. - The Cross: it takes our guilt away;
It holds the fainting spirit up;
It cheers with hope the gloomy day,
And sweetens every bitter cup. - The balm of life, the cure of woe,
The measure and the pledge of love,
The sinner's refuge here below,
The angels' theme in heav'n above.

Oct. 14, 2011HopethroughjesusI like the tune, but believe some of the words should be altered to give Jesus praise for His sacrifice. It sounds like a piece of wood did everything which I don't believe the writer intended.
Mar. 31, 2010PatrickLondon, United Kingdom"Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other" Psalm 85:10
This hymn is like that scripture. A beautiful tune and powerful words are joined together. There is another verse to this hymns that goes:
"It makes the coward spirit brave, and nerves the feeble arm for fight; it takes the terror from the grave, and gilds the bed of death with light."
