Nature with open volume stands, | |||
To spread her Maker's praise abroad; | |||
And every labor of His hands | |||
Shows something worthy of a God. | |||
But in the grace that rescued man | |||
His brightest form of glory shines; | |||
Here, on the cross, 'tis fairest drawn, | |||
In precious blood and crimson lines. | |||
Here His whole name appears complete; | |||
Nor wit can guess, nor reason prove, | |||
Which of the letters best is writ, | |||
The power, the wisdom, or the love. | |||
Here I behold His inmost heart, | |||
Where grace and vengeance strangely join, | |||
Piercing his Son with sharpest smart, | |||
To make the purchased pleasure mine. | |||
O! the sweet wonders of that cross, | |||
Where God the Savior loved and died | |||
Her noblest life my spirit draws | |||
From his dear wounds and bleeding side. | |||
I would for ever speak His name, | |||
In sounds to mortal ears unknown; | |||
With angels join to praise the Lamb, | |||
And worship at his Father's throne.}}''Christ crucified, the wisdom and power of God'' by Isaac Watts | |||
