O what matchless condescension

Author: William Gadsby 1773-1844 Hymnal: Praise! psalms hymns and songs for Christian worship #272 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.7 Lyrics: 1 O what matchless condescension the eternal God displays, claiming our supreme attention to his boundless works and ways; his own glory, his own glory he reveals in gospel days. 2 In the person of the Saviour all his majesty is seen, love and justice shine for ever; and without a veil between we approach him, we approach him and rejoice in his dear name. 3 Would we view his brightest glory? Here it shines in Jesus’ face; sing and tell the amazing story, all you sinners saved by grace: call the guilty, call the guilty this great Saviour to embrace. 4 In his highest work, redemption, see his glory in a blaze; nor can angels ever mention that which more of God displays. Grace and justice, grace and justice here unite to endless days. 5 O what sweet and solemn pleasure, God to view in Christ the Lord: here he smiles, and smiles for ever; may my soul his name record, praise and bless him, praise and bless him and his wonders spread abroad.

(Gadsby's Hymns) #514 (1844) Meter: 8.7.4 Lyrics: 1 O what matchless condescension The eternal God displays; Claiming our supreme attention, To his boundless works and ways. His own glory He reveals in gospel days. 2 In the person of the Saviour, All his majesty is seen! Love and justice shine for ever; And, without a veil between, Worms approach him, And rejoice in his dear name. 3 Would we view his brightest glory, Here it shines in Jesus’ face; Sing and tell the pleasing story, O ye sinners saved by grace; And with pleasure, Bid the guilty him embrace. 4 In his highest work, redemption, See his glory in a blaze; Nor can angels ever mention Aught that more of God displays; Grace and justice Here unite to endless days. 5 True, ’tis sweet and solemn pleasure, God to view in Christ the Lord; Here he smiles and smiles for ever; May my soul his name record; Praise and bless him, And his wonders spread abroad.
