WE wonder at the works of God Displayed through all the world abroad, Immensely great, minutely small, Yet one strange work exceeds them all.
Almighty God breathed human breath! The Lord of life experienced death! Suffering the pains of hell for those Who should have perished as His foes!
The highest heavens fall short of this! ’Tis deeper than the vast abyss! ’Tis more than thought could e’er conceive, Or hope expect, or flesh believe.
Blessed with this knowledge let us raise Our hearts in love, our voice in praise; Now we believe, but soon shall know The greatest glories God can show.
Joseph Hart, 1712-68
