No Gospel like ths feast
Spread for Thy Church by Thee;
No prophet or evangelist
Preach the glad news so free.
All our redemption cost,
All our redemption won;
All it has won for us, the lost,
All it cost Thee, the Son.
Thine was the bitter price
Ours is the free gift given;
Thine was the blood of sacrifice,
Ours is the wine of heaven.
For Thee the burning thirst,
The shame, the mortal strife,
The broken heart, the piercèd side;
To us the bread of life.
Here we would rest midway,
As on a sacred height;
That darkest and that brightest day
Meeting before our sight:
From that dark depth of woes
Thy love for us hath trod,
Up to the heights of blest repose
Thy love prepares with God;
Till, from self’s chains released,
One sight alone we see,
Still at the cross, as at the feast,
Behold Thee, only Thee!
