LyicsOh love beyond conception great,
That formed the vast, stupendous plan,
Where all divine perfections meet
To reconcile rebellious man:
There wisdom shines in fullest blaze,
And justice all her right maintains--
Astonished angels stoop to gaze,
While mercy o'er the guilty reigns.
Yes, mercy reigns, and justice too;
In Christ they both harmonious meet;
He paid to justice all her due,
And now he fills the mercy-seat.
