Infinite Mercy

Infinite Mercy from God above;
Unbounded favor poured out in Love.
God now incarnate with us to dwell:
Heavenly blessing—Immanuel!

    Sing out His Greatness: God become man!
    Tell of His Mercies: Salvation's Plan!
    Jesus was born to rescue the lost.
    Christmas but points the way to the Cross.

Born as a baby, yet born to die,
Jesus came down from Heaven on high.
The Cross before Him, vict'ry to win;
He rose triumphant o'er death and sin!

    Refrain
   
Wrapped in soft swaddling pointing the way
To when this Savior in the Grave lay.
Death cannot hold Him, this King of Life;
Jesus was born to conquer all strife!

    Refrain

He desired one thing: to do God's will.
He gave His body, yet He lives still.
Now is ascended, the Great I Am,
Jesus our Savior, God's spotless Lamb.

    Refrain

- D. Benning

Землю делает щедрой такой.

[The] Bread [of] life] for many He became,

И тот день, когда смерть его чтут,

Светит солнце для добрых и злых,
Svetit solntse dlya dobrykh i zlykh,

 ----- Better English -----

Necessary bread give us this day,

The audible cry of the cities and villages.
And the Lord with almighty hand
Makes the earth bountiful.

On earth every hour, every moment,
The sun shines for the good and the evil,
And rain descends from the clouds—
God is is equally good toward all.

From the Heavens fell Holy Seed
On earth It died;
It sprouted many-colored shoots,
Brought millions of offspring.

This is the accomplishment of the Suffering Christ,
He became the Bread of Life for many;
And the Day, when His Death is honored,
Is called "Breaking Bread."

We should be grateful
And should love Jesus in return.
There is no one better on earth
Than my Jesus Christ.

On earth every hour, every moment,
The sun shines for the good and the evil,
And rain descends from the clouds—

God is is equally good toward all.
