Lyics

O 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-

Astonish'd 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.
