Oh, what depth of love and pit¤y
Led the Ho¤ly Son of God,
Down to earth from high¤est glo¤ry
To re¤deem you by His blood.
On the cross His soul out¤pour¤ing,
Je¤sus died on Cal¤va¤ry.
From His wounds the life blood flow¤ing
To a¤tone for you and me.

How ex¤ceed¤ing great His sor¤row
In His dread¤ful ag¤o¤ny.
Bruised and bleed¤ing, see Him drink¤ing
God’s most aw¤ful wrath for thee.
Strength¤ened by the ho¤ly an¤gel,
Wrath in love is swal¤lowed up,
Love om¤nip¤o¤tent has con¤quered
Death and hell in that dread cup.

Think of all His pain and an¤guish
Hang¤ing on the tree of shame,
Bear¤ing all your sins He suf¤fered,
Took your place and bore the blame.
Num¤bered with trans¤gres¤sors, dy¤ing:
It is fin¤ished– all is done,
Sin is put a¤way for¤ev¤er,
God ac¤cepts you in His Son.
