Since Christ the incarnate Son of God
For sinners deigned to bleed;
The purchase of that precious blood,
Must needs be rich indeed.
God’s wisdom would not pay for toys
So great a price as this;
No, it bought pardon, boundless joys,
And everlasting bliss.
Saints, raise your expectations high,
Hope for all promised good;
Think what the blood of Christ can buy,
The incarnate Saviour’s blood.
Eye hath not seen, nor ear hath heard,
Nor can the heart conceive
What blessings are for them prepared,
Who in the Lord believe.
And since we may so freely take,
What Christ so dearly bought;
May we all idol joys forsake,
And love him as we ought.
