LyicsO LOVE beyond conception great,
That form'd 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.
