HYMN Lyrics Text:  Amazing Love

Amazing love! How can it be

That thou my God should die for me?(2)




1. How can it be that I should gain

an interest in the saviour's blood;

died He tor me, who caused His pain

for me, who Him to death pursued.

Amazing love! How can it be

that thou my God should die for me?




2. Tis mystery all, the immortal dies.

Who can explore His strange design?

In vain the firstborn seraph tries

to sound the depth of love divine.

tis mystery all, let earth adore.

Let angels minds inquire no more.




3. He left His father's throne above,

so free, so infinite His grace.

Emptied Himself of all but love

And bled for Adam's helpless race,

Tis mercy all, immense and free.

For, O my God it found out me.
