Laudes Domini ‎#176

176. Atonement made

1 Now to the power of God supreme
Be everlasting honors given;
He saves from hell, we bless his name,
He guides our wandering feet to heaven.

2 'Twas his own purpose that began
To rescue rebels doomed to die:
He gave us grace in Christ, his Son,
Before he spread the starry sky.

3 Jesus, the Lord, appears at last,
And makes his Father's counsels known;
Declares the great transactions past,
And brings immortal blessings down.

4 He dies; and in that dreadful night
Doth all the powers of hell destroy;
Rising, he brings our heaven to light,
And takes possession of the joy.
