Souls redeemed and sins forgiv'n, For means of grace and hopes of heav'n, Thou didst not spare thine only Son, But freely gave that blessed One To save us all.

Souls redeemed and sins forgiv'n, For means of grace and hopes of heav'n, Thou didst not spare thine only Son, But freely gave that blessed One To save us all.
