In wondrous love, O Son of God!

2 Oh, who, like thee, so calm, so bright,

Thou God of God, thou Light of Light!

Oh, who, like thee, did ever go

So patient through a world of woe?

3 Oh, who, like thee, so humbly bore

The scorn, the scoffs of men before?

So meek, forgiving, godlike, high,

So glorious in humility?

4 E'en death, which sets the prisoner free,
