HYMN CXXIV.

[All hail, Redeemer of mankind!]

1

All hail, Redeemer of mankind!
Thy life on Calvary resign'd
Did fully once for all atone;
Thy blood hath paid our utmost price,
Thine all-sufficient sacrifice
Remains eternally alone:
Angels and men might strive in vain,
They could not add the smallest grain
To' augment Thy death's atoning power,
The sacrifice is all complete,
The death Thou never canst repeat,
Once offer'd up to die no more.

Yet may we celebrate below,
And daily thus Thine offering show
Exposed before Thy Father's eyes;
In this tremendous mystery
Present Thee bleeding on a tree,
Our everlasting Sacrifice;
Father, behold Thy dying Son!
Even now He lays our ransom down,
Even now declares our sins forgiven;
His flesh is rent, the living way
Is open'd to eternal day,
And lo, through Him we pass to heaven!
