Ah! tear it thence, and reign alone, The Lord of every motion there; Then shall my heart from earth be free, When it hath found repose in Thee. Used With Tune: REST (II)

"He remembers Calvary"

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 192 hymnals Topics: Christ Love of; Christ Love of First Line: How condescending and how kind Lyrics: 1 How condescending and how kind Was God's eternal Son! Our misery reached his heavenly mind, And pity brought him down. 2 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. 3 This was compassion, like a God, That when the Saviour knew The price of pardon was his blood, His pity ne'er withdrew. 4 Now, though he reigns exalted high, His love is still as great; Well he remembers Calvary, Nor let his saints forget.

How vast the love that Him inclined To bleed and die for thee! 2 Hark, how He groans! while nature shakes, And earth's strong pillars bend; The temple's veil in sunder breaks, The solid marbles rend. 3 'Tis done! the precious ransom's paid; "Receive my soul," He cries! See where He bows His sacred head; He bows His head, and dies. 4 But soon He'll break death's envious chain, And in full glory shine; O Lamb of God! was ever pain, Was ever love, like Thine?

Come, sinners, see your Saviour die, And say, was ever grief like His! Come, feel with me His blood applied; My Lord, my Love, is crucified. 3 Is crucified for me and you, To bring us rebels back to God; Believer, believe the record true; Ye all are bought with Jesus' blood; Pardon for all flows from His side; My Lord, my Love, is crucified. 4 Then let us sit beneath His cross, And gladly catch the healing stream; All things for Him account but loss, And give up all our hearts to Him; Of nothing think or speak beside My Lord, my Love is crucified.

When shall my soul return again To her eternal rest? 2 Ah! what avails my strife, My wand'ring to and fro? Thou hast the words of endless life; Ah! whither should I go? 3 Thy condescending grace To me did freely move; It calls me still to seek Thy face, And stoops to ask my love. 4 And can I yet delay My love, my life to give? To tear my soul from earth away, My Jesus to receive? 5 Nay, but I yield, I yield! I can hold out no more; I sink, by dying love compelled, And own Thee conqueror. Used With Tune: TRENTHAM

Amen. Used With Tune: HENLEY
