On Calv'ry's
hill God's plan fulfilled,
The
Lamb Christ Jesus died;
His
mission was accomplished,
"It
is finished" was His cry.
Oh
Praise the Lord, the Lamb of God
Who
for our sins was slain!
Not
one of them for whom He died
In
bondage will remain!
God
chose before the world began
A
people for His own;
Eternal
council purposed
That their sins Christ would atone.
Oh
Praise the Lord, the Lamb of God!
Redemption
has been won!
Not
one of them for whom He died
Will
not be His own son!
The
debt that all the chosen owe –
For
we God's law forsook –
Was
paid in full by Jesus;
All
our punishment He took.
Oh
Praise the Lord, the Lamb of God,
Redeeming
sheep who fell!
Not
one of them for whom He died
Will
taste the fires of hell!
There
now no condemnation is
For
those who are in Christ;
Our
sins He blotted fully out
When Himself He sacrificed.
Oh
Praise the Lord, the Lamb of God!
His
death has set us free!
And
everyone for whom He died
Will
live eternally!
