Hear the Crucified One cry —
Wrath, revealed from heaven on high,
On Him your guilt does smite;
Sinner, see Him, stricken, die;
For God is light! For God is light!
Lo, in heaven exalted now,
Glory crowns His thorn-pierced brow!
Haste! wake not His wrath, but bow
To Christ thy God above,
While His pleading tones avow
Your God is love! Your God is love!
Judging from His great white throne,
God who spared not His own Son,
Rebel sinners, vile, undone,
In holy wrath shall smite:
Soul, too late you then will own
Our God is light! Our God is light!
