Hymn 162
He Shall Save His People
SPRING, C.M.
Jesus His name, it shall be called,
The holy angel said,
For, “He shall save His people” all
By suff'ring in their stead.
This heav'nly message we believe:
That Christ should come to save;
This precious gospel we receive
And give Him all the praise.
He healed the sick, gave back the dead,
He spake and it was done;
And And trusting Him, we need not dread
The cold and silent tomb.
He rose a victor over death,
And back to Heav'n has gone;
But will return again to earth
To take His people home.
O blessed Jesus, my dear Friend,
Alone I look to Thee;
And when my little life shall end,
I pray remember me.
