1. Come heavenly love, inspire my song With thy immortal flame,
And teach my heart, and teach my tongue The Savior\u2019s lovely name.<\/p>\n

2. The Savior! 0 what endless charms Dwell in the blissful sound!
Its influence every fear disarms, And spreads sweet comfort round.<\/p>\n

3. Here pardon, life, and joys divine In rich effusion flow,
For guilty rebels lost in sin, And doomed to endless woe.<\/p>\n

4. In our first parent\u2019s crime we fell; Our blood, our vital breath,
Deep tinged with all the seeds of ill, Sad heirs to sin and death.<\/p>\n

5. Black o\u2019er our wrath-devoted heads Avenging justice frowned
While hell disclosed her deepest shades And horrors rose around.<\/p>\n

6. Wrapt in the gloom of dark despair, We helpless, hopeless lay:
But sovereign mercy reached us there, And smiled despair away.<\/p>\n

7. God\u2019s only son, (stupendous grace!) Forsook his throne above;
And swift to save our wretched race, He flew on wings of love.<\/p>\n

8. Th\u2019 Almighty former of the skies Stooped to our vile abode;
While angels viewed with wondering eyes, And hailed the incarnate God.<\/p>\n

9. The God in heavenly strains they sung, Arrayed in human clay:
Mysterious love ! what angel tongue Thy wonders can display?<\/p>\n

10. Mysterious love, in every scene, Through all his life appears:
His spotless life exposed to pain, And miseries and tears.<\/p>\n

11. What blessings on a thankless race? His bounteous hand bestowed!
And from his tongue what wondrous grace, What rich instruction flowed!<\/p>\n

12. The dumb, the deaf, the lame, the blind Confessed his healing power;
Disease and death their prey resigned, And grief complained no more.<\/p>\n

13. Infernal legions trembling fled, Awed by his powerful word;
And winds and seas his voice obeyed, And owned their sovereign Lord.<\/p>\n

14. But man, vile man, his love abused Blind to the noblest good
Blasphemed his power, his word refused, And sought his sacred blood.<\/p>\n

15. Still his unwearied love pursued Salvation\u2019s glorious plan;
And firm the approaching horrors viewed Deserved by guilty man.<\/p>\n

16. What pain, what soul-oppressing pain, The great Redeemer bore;
While bloody sweat, like drops of rain, Distilled from every pore!<\/p>\n

17. And ere the dreadful storm descends Full on his guiltless head,
See him by his familiar friends Deserted and betrayed!<\/p>\n

18. While ruffian bands the Lord surround, Relentless, murderous foes;
Meek, as a lamb for slaughter bound, The patient sufferer goes<\/p>\n

19. Arraigned at Pilate\u2019s impious bar, (Unparralled disgrace!)
See spotless innocence appear In guilt\u2019s detested place!<\/p>\n

20. When perjury fails to stain his name, The mob\u2019s envenomed breath
Extorts his sentence, \u201cPublic shame And painful lingering death.\u201d<\/p>\n

21. Patient, the cruel scourge he bore; The innocent, the kind!
Then to the rabble\u2019s lawless power And rudest taunts consigned<\/p>\n

22. With thorns they crown that awful brow, Whose frown can shake the globe;
And on their king in scorn bestow The reed and purple robe.<\/p>\n

23. Ah! see the fatal cross appears, Heart-wounding, dreadful scene
His sacred flesh rude iron tears, With agonizing pain.<\/p>\n

24. Exposed with thieves, to public view Could nature bear the sight?
The blushing sun his beams withdrew, And wrapped the globe in night!<\/p>\n

25. Then, Oh! what loads of wrath unknown The glorious sufferer felt;
For crimes unnumbered to atone, To expiate mortal guilt!<\/p>\n

26. The Father\u2019s blissful smile withdrawn, In that tremendous hour;
Yet still the God sustained the man With his almighty power,<\/p>\n

27. \u2018Tis finished,\u2019\u009d now aloud he cries, \u2018No more the law requires\u2019
And now, (amazing sacrifice!) The Lord of life expires.<\/p>\n

28. Earth\u2019s firm foundation felt the shock, With universal dread;
Trembled the mountain, rent the rock, And waked the sleeping dead!<\/p>\n

29. Now breathless in the silent tomb, His sacred body lies:
Thither his loved disciples come, With sorrow-streaming eyes.<\/p>\n

30. But see the promised morn appear Their joy revives again;
The Savior lives; adieu to fear, To every anxious pain.<\/p>\n

31. His kindest words their doubts remove, Confirm their wavering faith;
He bids them teach the world his love, Salvation by his death.<\/p>\n

32. Triumphant he ascends on high, The glorious work complete
Sin, death, and hell, low vanquished lie Beneath his awful feet.<\/p>\n

33. There, with eternal glory crowned, The Lord, the conqueror, reigns;
His praise the heavenly choirs resound In their immortal strains.<\/p>\n

34. Amid the splendors of his throne, Unchanging love appears;
The names he purchased for his own, Still on his heart he bears<\/p>\n

35. Still with prevailing power he pleads Their cause for whom he died;
His Spirit\u2019s sacred influence sheds, Their comforter and guide.<\/p>\n

36. For them, reserves a radiant crown, Bought with his dying blood;
And worlds of light, and joys unknown, For ever near their God.<\/p>\n

37. 0 the rich depths of love divine! Of bliss, a boundless store:
Dear Savior, let me call thee mine; I cannot wish for more.<\/p>\n

38. I yield to thy dear conquering arms, I yield my captive soul:
0 let thy all-subduing charms My inmost powers control!<\/p>\n

39. On thee alone my hope relies: Beneath thy cross I fall,
My Lord, my life, my sacrifice, My Savior and my all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
