Author: Venantius H.C. Fortunatus, ca. 530-609; Augustus Nelson, 1863-1949 Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #243 (1990) Meter: 4.4.7.4.4.7.4.4.7 Topics: Imputation of Righteousness Lyrics: 1 Praise the Savior now and ever;
praise him, all beneath the skies;
prostrate lying, suff'ring, dying
on the cross, a sacrifice.
Vict'ry gaining, life obtaining,
now in glory he doth rise.
2 Man's work faileth, Christ's availeth;
he is all our righteousness;
he, our Savior, has forever
set us free from dire distress.
Through his merit we inherit
light and peace and happiness.
3 Sin's bonds severed, we're delivered;
Christ has bruised the serpent's head;
death no longer is the stronger;
hell itself is captive led.
Christ has risen from death's prison;
o'er the tomb he light has shed.
4 For his favor, praise for ever
unto God the Father sing;
praise the Savior, praise him ever,
Son of God, our Lord and King.
Praise the Spirit; through Christ's merit
he doth us salvation bring. Scripture: Genesis 3:15 Languages: English Tune Title: UPP, MIN TUNGA
