The Wonders of Redeeming Love

Verse 1

O the mysterious depths of grace! Who shall thy wandering mazes trace? Surpassing human thought to know Where this abyss of love shall flow.

Verse 2

’Twas hid in God’s eternal breast, For all his sons in Jesus blest, Whose mystic members, from of old, Were in the book of life enrolled.

Verse 3

[Shall one, as now in thy embrace, Before tomorrow fall from grace; Be doomed to Tophet’s endless flame, Where hope or mercy never came?

Verse 4

No! glory to his name we say, He’ll love tomorrow as today. No wrath shall e’er his bosom move Towards an object of his love.]

Verse 5

No heights of guilt, nor depths of sin, Where his redeemed have ever been, But sovereign grace was underneath, And love eternal, strong as death.

Verse 6

Come, then, ye saints, in strains divine, Rehearse the same in every line; Nor fear to sing the charming lay; You’ll sing the same another day.

Verse 7

No other song will be the employ Of saints, in worlds of endless joy, But loud hosannas round the throne, To the great sacred Three-in-One.
