CCLXX. Christ, the Evidence of Divine Love

1 We now with gladness tell,
What Proof our God hath giv'n,
That we with him shall ever dwell
Above the highest heav'n.

2 That our Creator's Love,
Essentially to man;
His Dealings with us fully prove,
Thro' all the christian plan.

3 Such was his love to us,
He freely gave his Son
To suffer death upon the cross,
And, bleeding, there atone.

4 For us he made him sin,
Then pierc'd him to the heart;
This to destroy, the spear went in,
For this, he bare his smart.
