THE GREAT REDEEMER LIVES, by ANNE STEELE
First Line: He lives, the great redeemer lives
Last Line: For jesus pleads, and must prevail.
Subject(s): Jesus Christ
First Line: He lives, the great redeemer lives
Last Line: For jesus pleads, and must prevail.
Subject(s): Jesus Christ
He lives, the great Redeemer lives,
What joy the blest assurance gives!
And now, before His Father, God,
Pleads the full merits of His blood.
Repeated crimes awake our fears,
And Justice armed with frowns appears;
But in the Saviour's lovely face
Sweet Mercy smiles, and all is peace.
Hence, then, ye black, despairing thoughts:
Above our fears, above our faults,
His powerful intercessions rise,
And guilt recedes, and terror dies.
In every dark, distressful hour,
When sin and Satan join their power,
Let this dear hope repel the dart,
That Jesus bears us on His heart.
Great Advocate, almighty Friend!
On Him our humble hopes depend;
Our cause can never, never fail,
For Jesus pleads, and must prevail.
