TO us our God commends his Love,* 1.1
When guilty and undone;
In that, to save us from our Sins,
He did not spare his Son,* 1.2

His Only Son,* 1.3 on whom he plac'd
All his Delight and Love,
Before he form'd the Earth below,
Or spread the Heavens above;

Th' Eternal Darling of his Soul,* 1.4
Him he sent from on high
To clothe himself with mortal Rags,
And lay his Glory by;

To bear the Curses we deserv'd,* 1.5
Our heavy Cross sustain;
To bleed and die upon it too,
That we might Life obtain:

* 1.6This Life is hid in God with Christ,
Who fell a Sacrifice,
* 1.7By Death to conquer Death for us,
* 1.8That we like him might rise:

* 1.9For he soon triumph'd o're the Grave,
* 1.10And went to Heaven again;
There intercedes, and thence will come
* 1.11Among his Saints to reign.

* 1.12His Word says he will surely come,
* 1.13Saints for his Coming pray,
The whole Creation for it groans,
* 1.14Ev'n so, LORD, come away.
