Let All the World In Wonder Gaze

Representative Text

1 Let all the world in wonder gaze
At that great sight on Calvary's brow;
There Christ, the ancient of all days,
To monster death consents to bow.

2 'Mid weeping saints and railing thieves,
'Mid bursting graves and crumbling rocks,
While heaven frowns and earth upheaves
Th'incarnate God yields up the ghost.

3 He died to set the guilty free–
Each one of Adam's sinful race–
Who, by Jehovah's stern decree,
Was doomed eternal death to face.

4 Since now the rigid debt is paid,
And peace is free through Jesus' name,
None need despair nor feel dismayed,
Christ's blood removes the deepest stain.

AMEN.
