359. No act of power could e'er atone

1 No act of pow'r could e'er atone,
No wonder-working word
Could, from the brightness of the throne,
Make love's sweet voice be heard.

2 If sinners ever were to know
The depths of love divine,
All Calv'ry's weakness and its woe,
Blest Saviour, must be Thine.

3 God's righteousness is there proclaimed,
His mercy's depths are known,
While to the full Thou hast maintained
The glory of His throne.

4 God now is glorified in Thee,
IN Thee, His only Son;
His hand, His house, His heart are free,
Because Thy work is done.
