120. O Thou Who Didst Thy Glory Leave

8,8,6.
by A.M. Toplady, 1759
1
O Thou who didst Thy glory leave,
 
Apostate sinners to retrieve
 
From nature’s deadly fall!
 
Thou, Thou hast bought us with a price,
 
Our sins against us ne’er can rise,
 
For Thou hast borne them all.
“Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.” (John 8:42)
“I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.” (John 16:28)
2
See Him for our transgressions given;
 
See the blest Lamb of God from heaven,
 
For us, His foes, expire;
 
Rejoice! rejoice! the tidings hear!
 
He bore, that we might never bear,
 
Th’ Almighty’s righteous ire.
3
Ye saints, "the Man of sorrows" bless,
 
The Lord, for your unrighteousness
 
Deputed to atone;
 
Praise, till with all the ransomed throng
 
Ye sing the never-ending song,
 
And sit upon His throne!
“And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.” (Revelation 22:5)
