Wondrous Saviour, mighty Lord,
Be thou loved, obeyed, adored!
Through thy blood we are forgiven;
Thou hast made us heirs of heaven.
Lord of glory, what but love
Made thee leave thy throne above?
What but love could make thee come
To the manger and the tomb?
‘Twas in mercy thou didst die,
Suffering unknown agony:
Mercy, boundless mercy still,
Guides thy all controlling will.
We shall see thy glory soon
Where they need not sun or moon:
Saved by thee from death and hell,
With thee we shall ever dwell.
Oh, how glorious is the place
Where thy people see thy face!
Angels bow thy throne before;
Saints thy majesty adore.
With those angels bright and fair,
With those saints beneath thy care,
Might Saviour, glorious King,
We our grateful praises bring.
