O glorious and most Holy King,
the mighty Prince of Peace,
By thee alone, O holy One,
from Sin we have release!

O wond'rous Love, yea, Love indeed,
that Thou so great and high,
Who didst proceed from God, should bleed,
and for poor Sinners dye.

3

The Curse which was, O Lord, our due
thou also didst endure;
And in th'Grave lay till the Third Day
our freedom to procure.

4

O depth, O length, O heigth of Love,
none may compare with Thee,
So low to lye that we so high
at last might raised be!

5

Shall Sinners slight thy Love, O Lord,
salvation not regard?
No sin like this so great it is,
was ever known or heard.

6

Ye Saints love you your Saviour dear,
sing forth his blessed Praise;
O love him, and to him adhere,
and serve him all your days.
