by Unknown

What tongue can speak thy comprehensive grace?

What thought thy depths unfathomable trace?

When lost in sin our ruined nature lay,

When awful justice claimed her righteous pay,

See the mild Saviour bend His pitying eye,

And stop the lightning just prepared to fly!

Boyse.

Be every knee

To Christ in homage bent! Be every heart

In adoration, and in fervent prayer,
