302. O Blessed Lord, What Hast Thou Done

C.M.
by M. Bowley
1
O blessed Lord, what hast Thou done?
 
How vast a ransom given?
 
Thyself of God th’ eternal Son;
 
The Lord of earth and heaven.
2
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.
3
Lord, while our souls in faith repose
 
Upon Thy precious blood,
 
Peace like an even river flows,
 
And mercy, like a flood.
“But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us.” (Ephesians 2:4)
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” (1 Peter 1:3)
4
But boundless joy shall fill our hearts,
 
When, gazing on Thy face,
 
We fully see what faith imparts,
 
And glory crowns Thy grace.
5
Unseen, we love Thee; dear Thy name;
 
But when our eyes behold,
 
With joyful wonder we’ll exclaim,
 
"The half had not been told!"
6
For Thou exceedest all the fame
 
Our ears have ever heard;
 
How happy we who know Thy name,
 
And trust Thy faithful Word!
