LyicsAND 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;
Surprising mercy! love unknown!
To suffer, bleed and die.
He took the dying traitor's place,
And suffered in his stead;
For sinful man--oh wondrous grace!
For sinful man he bled!
O Lord, what heavenly wonders dwell
In thy most precious blood!
By this are sinners saved from hell,
And rebels brought to God.
