O Wounding commendation!
God did commend his only Son,
That we might reconciled be,
and thro' his wounds made nigh to thee

Thou wicked Rebel was the Man,
which caus'd the Sword, which Justice ran
Into his Godlike-side, to miss
thine wn, and pointed be at his.

But Love to us did make him cry,
while in this bitter Agony
I am to be Baptiz'd for some,
oh how I long to see it done!

Oh love! Oh Lamb! we've seen thee bleed,
our Pardons in thy wounds we read,
And on thy Heart Love! Love! we spy
in Characters of purple dye.

Oh Love! Oh Grace! Oh boundless Love!
'twas it that did our Jesus move:
And Love will draw, Grace will constrain
to Love our loving Lord again.

Amazing, melting, wounding Love!
attracting, blazing from above;
Amazing love our Souls does drown'd
they'r scarcely in our Bodies found.

Oh! Let's lift up our dazled Eyes
to this amazing Sacrifice:
The Lamb once slain is now above,
and cloathed with Eternal Love.

Honour, and glory, and renown
be to the Lamb upon the Throne,
That once did dye, that once was slain
that we might with him ever reign.
