He Who once in righteous vengeance Whelmed the world beneath the flood, Once again in mercy cleansed it With His own most precious blood, Coming from His throne on high On the painful cross to die. O the wisdom of th???Eternal! O the depth of love divine! O the sweetness of that mercy Which in Jesus Christ did shine! We were sinners doomed to die; Jesus paid the penalty. When before the Judge we tremble, Conscious of His broken laws, May the blood of His atonement Cry aloud, and plead our cause, Bid our guilty terrors cease, Be our pardon and our peace. Prince and Author of salvation, Lord of Majesty supreme, Jesu, praise to Thee be given By the world Thou didst redeem; Glory to the Father be And the Spirit One with Thee.
