GOD FORGIVES AND FORGETS
1. Praise the Lord there is mercy in
heaven,
In that land where sun never sets;
For the Saviour forgives, not as
mortals,
But our Jesus forgives and forgets.
He forgives and forgets,
He forgives and forgets,
Not as mortals forgive one another,
But our Jesus forgives and forgets.
2. When we bowed at the footstool of
mercy,
When we knocked on the door to
get in;
Jesus not only freely did pardon,
But forgave and forgot ev’ry sin.
3. Oft we hear people say, AI’ll forgive
you,
But I cannot forget if I tried;@
But our Saviour’s own blood sealed
our ransom,
To forgive and forget He hath died.
4. When our Book shall be opened for
judgment,
May we find there no record of
debts;
We’ll not fear if our sins have been
pardoned,
For our Jesus forgives and forgets.
