The Love of Christ Commemorated

Verse 1

Great God, thy pow'r and wisdom shine, In all the works thy hand hath wrought; But mercy, love, and grace divine, Exceed the pow'r of speech, or thought.

Verse 2

Thy precious blood, immortal Lamb, Takes from the world its guilt away; Our sin, and curse, reproach, and shame Are drown'd in thine own crimson sea.

Verse 3

Salvation! 'tis a welcome sound, To weary souls by sin oppress'd; Here, sinners, you may heal your woulds, And sooth your griefs and fears to rest.

Verse 4

While in this dark abode we stay, Our feeble voices let us raise; Then up to glory wing our way, And join th' eternal song of praise.
