Christ's Obedience and Death; or, God glorified, and Sinners saved

Verse 1

Father, I sing thy wondrous grace, I bless my Savior's name; He bought salvation for the poor, And bore the sinner's shame.

Verse 2

His deep distress has raised us high; His duty and his zeal Fulfilled the law which mortals broke, And finished all thy will.

Verse 3

His dying groans, his living songs, Shall better please my God Than harp or trumpet's solemn sound, Than goat's or bullock's blood.

Verse 4

This shall his humble followers see, And set their hearts at rest They by his death draw near to thee, And live for ever blest.

Verse 5

Let heav'n and all that dwell on high To God their voices raise, While lands and seas assist the sky, And join t' advance the praise.

Verse 6

Zion is thine, most holy God, Thy Son shall bless her gates; And glory purchased by his blood For thy own Isr'el waits.
