48. Praise the Saviour!

1 Praise the Saviour,
Now and ever!
Praise Him all beneath the skies!
Prostrate lying,
Suffering, dying,
On the cross a Sacrifice;
Victory gaining,
Life obtaining,
Now in glory He doth rise.

2 All is finished,
And accomplished;
Christ is now our Righteousness,
He our Saviour,
Hath forever
Set us free from dire distress.
Through His merit
We inherit
Light and peace and happiness.

3 We're delivered;
Our bonds severed,
Christ hath bruised the serpent's head;
Death no longer
Is the stronger,
Hell itself is captive led.
Christ hath risen
From death's prison,
O'er the tomb He light hath shed.

4 Praise for ever
For His favor
Unto God the Father sing;
Praise the Saviour,
Praise Him ever.
Son of God, our Lord and King;
Praise the Spirit,
Through Christ's merit
He doth us salvation bring.
