Died He for me, who caused His pain? For me, who Him to death pursued? Amazing love! how can it be That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me? Amazing love! How can it be That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me? 2 He left His Father's throne above: So free, so infinite His grace! Emptied Himself of all but love, And bled for Adam's helpless race. 'Tis mercy all, immense and free, For O, my God, it found out me! 'Tis mercy all, immense and free, For O, my God, it found out me! 3 Long my imprisoned spirit lay, Fast bound in sin and nature's night. Thine eye diffused a quickening ray. I woke; the dungeon flamed with light! My chains fell off, my heart was free: I rose, went forth, and followed Thee. My chains fell off, my heart was free: I rose, went forth, and followed Thee. 4 No condemnation now I dread: Jesus, and all in Him, is mine! Alive in Him, my living Head, And clothed in righteousness divine. Bold I approach th'eternal throne And claim the crown, through Christ, my own. Bold I approach th'eternal throne And claim the crown, through Christ, my own. Topics: The Christian Life Love; Love Used With Tune: SAGINA

We Sing the Praise of Him Who Died

Author: Thomas Kelly (1769-1855) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 192 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 2:6-15 Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died, of him who died upon the cross; the sinner's hope let sin deride; for this we count the world but loss. 2 Inscribed upon the cross we see in shining letters, "God is love." He bears our sins upon the tree; he brings us mercy from above. 3 The cross -- it takes our guilt away; it holds the fainting spirit up; it cheers with hope the gloomy day, and sweetens every bitter cup; 4 it makes the coward spirit brave, and nerves the feeble arm for fight; it takes its terror from the grave, and gilds the bed of death with light. 5 The balm of life, the cure of woe, the measure and the pledge of love, the sinner's refuge here below, the angels' theme in heaven above.
