Lyics

AND did the Holy and the Just,
The Sovereign of the skies,
Stoop down to wretchedness and dust,
That guilty man might rise?


Yes, the Redeemer left his throne,
His radiant throne on high-
Surpassing mercy! love unknown!-
To suffer, bleed, and die.



He took the dying rebel's place,
And suffered in our stead;
For sinful man-O wondrous grace!-
For sinful man he bled!
