1 The whole creation was undone,
The world in ruins lay,
When God sent forth His only Son
To suffer and obey.
2 Jesus, with pity moved, forsakes
The glories of His throne,
Redeems the souls He loved, and makes
His Father’s counsels known.
3 The death He died, but quickly rose
Majestic from the grave;
And now He triumphs o’er His foes,
With sovereign power to save.
4 Freely He gives His promised grace,
To make our nature clean;
And clothes us with His righteousness,
Till not a spot is seen.
5 His mighty arm shall be our trust,
His hand our wants supply;
He‘ll animate our sleeping dust,
And raise it up on high.
6 Thy praises, oh Immanuel,
Our lips shall spread abroad;
And in harmonious accents tell
The wonders of our God.
