Jesus is the
endless fountain Translation by Petri Tikka |
Rakkauden,
armon lähde Lyrics by Simo Korpela |
|
Jesus is the endless fountain Of pure love and grace alone! Who'd have for the sake of sinners Died like he, to sin atone? Who'd have gone for his own mockers, Murderers and persecutors Into death as hard as stone? Christ alone did this accomplish, He alone for all blood shed. He has seen such pain and anguish That no mouth can make it said. Everything he carried humbly, Gave his life and spirit humbly On the cross, his dying bed. For what reason Jesus suffered All that pain so long ago? Out of his sheer love for sinners, For us who have sunk so low Christ stepped down to mortal passion, Opening the gates of Heaven, For us did He suffer so. Why do you let all the anguish Gnaw your soul, O sinful one? Why do you still bear the burden? Look, Christ has all sin undone! Being preached is full atonement, Have faith with no discontentment In the pardon of things done. Yours indeed is grace completely, Though your soul be filled with gloom, Even when with flames so fiery Anguish does your heart consume. Jesus took our sins on his head And gave up himself in our stead To the cross and to the tomb. |
Rakkauden, armon lähde Jeesus ompi pohjaton! Ken ois kuollut synnin tähden, niin kuin Jeesus kuollut on? Ken ois eestä pilkkaajainsa, vainoojainsa, murhaajainsa käynyt kovaan kuolohon? Jeesus on sen yksin tehnyt, yksin hän, ei kukaan muu. Hän on vaivat, tuskat nähnyt, joit ei kertoa voi suu. Nöyränä hän kaiken kantoi, nöyränä hän henkens antoi vuoteenansa ristinpuu. Minkä tähden kaiken vaivan Jeesus kärsinyt on niin? Rakkaudestansa aivan meihin kurjiin syntisiin Jeesus astui kuolon vaivaan avatakseen meille taivaan, meidän tähden kärsi niin. Miksi tuskan kalvaa annat sieluas, sä syntinen? Miksi syntein taakkaa kannat? Katso, Kristus kantoi sen! Sovitusta saarnatahan, rohkaistu siis uskomahan anteeksanto syntien. Armo kuuluu sulle juuri, sulle, raukka kurjinkin, vaikka rintaas tuska suuri kalvaa liekein polttavin. Kaikkein synnit Jeesus kantoi, kaikkein tähden itsens antoi ristiin, kärsimyksihin. |
