Christ's dying Love; Or, Our Pardon bought at a dear Price

Appears in 194 hymnals Topics: Life of Christ, Characters and Representations First Line: How condescending, and how kind Lyrics: 1 How condescending, and how kind Was God's Eternal Son! Our Mis'ry reach'd his heav'nly Mind, And Pity brought him down. [2 When Justice, by our Sins provok'd, Drew forth its dreadful Sword, He gave his Soul up to the Stroke Without a murm'ring Word. 3 He sunk beneath our heavy Woes, To raise us to his Throne; There's ne'er a Gift his Hand bestows But cost his Heart a Groan.] 4 This was Compassion like a God, That when the Savioir knew The Price of Pardon was his Blood, His Pity ne'er withdrew. 5 Now tho' he reigns exalted High, His love is still as great; Well he remembers Calvary, Nor let his saints forget. [6 Here we behold his bowels roll, As kind as when he dy'd; And see the sorrows of his Soul Bleed thro' his wounded side.] [7 Here we receive repeated Seals Of Jesus' dying Love: Hard is the Wretch that never feels One soft Affection move.] 8 Here let our Hearts begin to melt While we his Death record, And with our Joy for pardon'd Guilt, Mourn that we pierc'd the Lord.
