Stupendous was the love
Of God’s eternal Son,
Who left the blissful scenes above,
And his imperial throne:
He waded through a sea
Of overwhelming wrath,
That wretched sinners, such as we,
Might be redeemed from death.
Expiring on the cross,
He Satan’s empire broke;
Surprise and horror seized his foes,
And hell’s foundation shook.
From him we grace receive,
In him all good possess;
And those who on his word believe,
Shall reign with him in bliss.
Hosanna to his name,
Let heavenly hosts adore;
But saints, with pure seraphic flame,
Should love and praise him more.
