‘Tis mystery all the Immortal dies
Who can explore his strange design
In vain the firstborn seraph tries
To sound the depths of love divine
(`Tis mercy all Let earth adore
Let angel minds inquire no more) 2x

He left His Father's throne above
So free so infinite His grace
Emptied Himself of all but love
And bled for Adam’s helpless race
(`Tis mercy all immense and free
For O my God it found out me) 2x

Long my imprisoned spirit lay
Fast bound in sin and nature's night
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray
I woke the dungeon flamed with light
(My chains fell off my heart was free
I rose went forth and followed Thee) 2x

Still the small inward voice I hear
That whispers all my sins forgiven
Still the atoning blood is near
That quenched the wrath of hostile Heaven
(I feel life His wounds impart
I feel the Savior in my heart) 2x

No condemnation now I dread
Jesus and all in Him is mine
Alive in Him my living Head
And clothed in righteousness divine
(Bold I approach thee eternal throne
And claim the crown through Christ my own) 2x
