Lyrics
[Verse 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.
[Chorus]
He forgives and forgets,
He forgives and forgets,
Not as mortals forgive one another,
But our Jesus forgives and forgets.
[Verse 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.
[Chorus]
He forgives and forgets,
He forgives and forgets,
Not as mortals forgive one another,
But our Jesus forgives and forgets.
[Verse 3]
Oft we hear people say, 'I'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.
[Chorus]
He forgives and forgets,
He forgives and forgets,
Not as mortals forgive one another,
But our Jesus forgives and forgets.
[Verse 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.
[Chorus]
He forgives and forgets,
He forgives and forgets,
Not as mortals forgive one another,
But our Jesus forgives and forgets.
