The Gospel. Mark 2. 17; 1 Tim. 1. 15; Rev. 22. 17

1 That Jesus the Saviour can make it quite whole;
  And what makes this gospel most precious to me,
  It holds forth salvation so perfectly free!

2 The gospel declares that God, sending his Son
  To die for poor sinners, gave all things in one;
  This, too, makes the gospel most precious to me;
  Because ’tis a gospel as full as ’tis free!

3 Since Jesus has saved me, and that freely too,
  I fain would in all things my gratitude show;
  But as to man’s merit, ’tis hateful to me!
  The gospel – I love it; ’tis perfectly free!
