The Son of God! The Lord of Life!

The Son of God! the Lord of Life!

How won­drous are His ways!

O for a harp of thou­sand strings

To sound abroad His praise!

How pass­ing strange

to leave the seat

Of Heav’n’s eter­nal throne

And hosts of glit­ter­ing se­ra­phim

For guil­ty man alone!

And did He bow His sac­red head

And die a death of shame?

Let men and an­gels mag­ni­fy

And bless His ho­ly name!

O let us live in peace and love

And cast away our pride.

And cru­ci­fy our sins afresh.

As He was cru­ci­fied!

He rose again; then let us rise

From sin

and Christ ad­ore

And dwell in peace with all man­kind

And tempt the Lord no more:

The Son of God! the Lord of Life!

How won­drous are His ways!

O for a harp of thou­sand strings

To sound abroad His praise!
