LXV. Did our Immanuel die for us

1 Did our Immanuel die for us,
To save such poor rebellious Men?
Did he display his Pity thus,
That we might come to GOD again?

2 All human Language wants a Name,
For this unfathom'd wond'rous Love:
This pure Immortal fervent Flame,
Sprang only from the GOD above.

3 What can we add? Our Speech is faint;
We sink beneath the pond'rous Load:
This Love no eloquence can paint;
'Tis grand! 'tis worthy of a GOD?

4 O'erwhelmed with this Abys of Love,
We stand astonish'd at the Grace,
That brought the Saviour from above,
To die for all the fallen Race!

5 Did our IMMANUEL die for us?
What more can be by sounds exprest?
For Sinners CHRIST was made a Curse;
Eternity must tell the rest.
