Twas not to make Jehovah's love
Toward his people flame,
That Jesus from the throne above,
A suffering man became.
"Twas not the death which he endured,
Nor all the pangs he bore,
That God's eternal love procured,
For God was love before.
He loved the world of his elect,
With love surpassing thought;
Nor will his mercy e'er neglect
The souls so dearly bought.
The warm affections of his breast
Towards his children burn;
And in this love he'll ever rest,
Nor from his oath return.
