A Few Hymns and Some Spiritual Songs. Selected 1856, for the Little Flock. Revised, 1881 ‎#135

135. We joy in our God, and we sing of that love

1 We joy in our God, and we sing of that love,
So sov'reign and free which did His heart move!
When lost our condition, all ruined, undone,
He saw with compassion, and spared not His Son!

2 His Son, His delight, His loved One, He gave
The curse to endure--by suff'ring to save:
Sure, love so amazing, unmeasured, untold,
Since Him it hath given, no good will withhold!

3 We praise, then, our God; how rich is His grace!
We were far from Him once--estranged from His face,
By blood we are purchased, are cleansed and made nigh,
And blest in His presence, in Jesus, on high!
