God’s Love

Can mortal tongue describe God’s love
For sending Jesus from above,
To save poor, sinful man?
Eternal wisdom, all divine,
The thought unspeakable, sublime,
That laid salvation’s plan!

Lord, grant that we may now believe;
Thy promis’d Word may we receive,
That gives eternal life;
And let thy Word forever be
Our meat and drink bestow’d by thee,
And shun the ways of strife.

Not to condemn the human race
Did Jesus leave his heavenly place,
And dwell among mankind;
’Twas grace and mercy brought him down,
To satisfy strict Justice’s frown,
And please his Father’s mind.

Then, saved by grace we surely are;
Lord, by the grace our souls prepare
To live with thee alway;
The work is thine, we do believe;
The glory, too, thou shalt receive,
In that eternal day.

Now let thy Holy Spirit move
On every heart thy ways to love –
The Spirit’s work it is:
Now glory be to God on high,
For bringing his salvation nigh,
To seal us ever HIS!
