"Justice and judgment are the habitation of Thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before Thy face. Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of Thy countenance. In Thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in Thy righteousness shall they be exalted" (Psalm 89:14-16). "He [Caiaphas] prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation; and not for that nation only, but that also He should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad" (John 11:51,52).
We hear the
joyful sound of grace
Where justice
has been satisfied,
For Jesus went
before the face
Of judgment,
when for us He died!
This is the
joyful sound above:
The theme that Jesus saves alone,
Rejoicing in His
wondrous love
With His
redeemed around the throne.
Though Caiaphas
also had foretold
That Christ
would die for Israel's nation,
His heart was hardened,
blind, and cold;
He saw no cause
for celebration.
O Lord, we hear
the joyful sound
That "Jesus
Saves!" the souls abroad,
For grace and
truth will yet abound
To all the world
so loved by God!
