For God So Loved This Sinful World

For God so loved this sinful world,

His Son He freely gave,

That whosoever would believe

Eternal life should have.

Refrain

'Tis true, O yes, 'tis true,

God's wonderful promise is true;

For I've trusted, and tested, and tried it,

And I know God's promise is true.

I was a wayward, wand'ring child,

A slave to sin and fear,

Until this blessèd promise fell

Like music on my ear.

Refrain

The "whosoever" of the Lord,

I trusted was for me,

I took Him at His gracious word;

From sin He set me free.

Refrain

Eternal life, begun below,

Now fills my heart and soul.

I'll sing His praise forevermore

Who has redeemed my soul.
