O blessed Lord, what hast Thou done?

How vast a ransom given?

Thyself of God th’ eternal Son;

The Lord of earth and heaven.

“Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.” (1 Timothy 2:6)

“And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.” (John 8:35)

“God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands.” (Acts 17:24)

“That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth.” (Philippians 2:10)

Thy Father, in His gracious love,

Did spare Thee from His side;

And Thou didst stoop to bear above,

At such a cost, Thy bride.

“He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” (Romans 8:32)

“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it. That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word. That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” (Ephesians 5:25-27)

Lord, while our souls in faith repose

Upon Thy precious blood,

Peace like an even river flows,

And mercy, like a flood.

“But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.” (1 Peter 1:19)

“And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.” (Colossians 1:20)

“O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea.” (Isaiah 48:18)

“But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us.” (Ephesians 2:4)

But boundless joy shall fill our hearts,

When, gazing on Thy face,

We fully see what faith imparts,

And glory crowns Thy grace.

Unseen, we love Thee; dear Thy name;

But when our eyes behold,

With joyful wonder we’ll exclaim,

"The half had not been told!"

For Thou exceedest all the fame

Our ears have ever heard;
