Mediator of the New Testament

Verse 1

All gracious Lord, we sing thy love, A love more strong than death: The testament divine was seal'd, With thy expiring breath.

Verse 2

Hail, Mediator, Saviour, hail! We bless the ransom giv'n; For us, for all, was freely paid, The richest blood of heav'n.

Verse 3

By thee, O Christ, from death redeem'd, Thy blood must sure prevail; Nor death in bondage to the foe, Shall cause our life to fail.

Verse 4

Wake then a song, the noblest song— Let heav'n and earth rejoice, The dead shall live—the graves shall hear Salvation in thy voice.
