Let angel minds inquire no more
An int’rest in the Savior’s blood
Died He for me, who caused His pain
For me, who Him to death pursued
Amazing love! How can it be
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
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.
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.
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night
Thine eye diffused a quick'ning ray
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light
My chains fell off, my heart was free
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.
Jesus, and all in Him, is mine
Alive in Him, my living Head
And clothed in righteousness Divine
Bold I approach the eternal throne
And claim the crown, through Christ my own.
