The Harmony of the Perfections of God

Verse 1

O love! beyond conception great, That form'd the vast, stupendous plan! Where all divine perfections meet To reconcile rebellious man!

Verse 2

There wisdom shines in fullest blaze, And justice all her rights maintains: Astonish'd angels stoop to gaze, While mercy o'er the guilty reigns.

Verse 3

Yes, mercy reigns, and justice too-- In Christ harmoniously they meet: He paid to justice all her due, And now He fills the mercy-seat.

Verse 4

Such are the wonders of our God, And such th'amazing depths of grace, To save from wrath's vindictive rod. The sons of Adam's fallen race.

Verse 5

With grateful songs then let our souls Surround our gracious Father's throne; And all between the distant poles His truth and mercy ever own.
