We now with gladness tell

Verse 1

We now with gladness tell, What Proof our God hath giv'n, That we with him shall ever dwell Above the highest heav'n.

Verse 2

That our Creator's Love, Essentially to man; His Dealings with us fully prove, Thro' all the christian plan.

Verse 3

Such was his love to us, He freely gave his Son To suffer death upon the cross, And, bleeding, there atone.

Verse 4

For us he made him sin, Then pierc'd him to the heart; This to destroy, the spear went in, For this, he bare his smart.
