The Triune God Above

The Tri­une God ab­ove

And Lord of all be­low

To sin­ners shows His love

Displays His jus­tice

too—

Awake

awake

vin­dic­tive sword

Against My Fel­low! saith the Lord.

“Awake against the Man

Omnipotent in pow­er

To exe­cute My plan

Lost mor­tals to re­store;

Man has a load of guilt so great

None but My Son can bear the weight.

Him ven­geance shall pur­sue

For man He must atone;

To jus­tice what is due

His blood can pay alone.

He shall My right­eous law ful­fill;

He shall ac­comp­lish all My will.

The Lord of Hosts com­mands

Th’eter­nal Fa­ther spoke:

All Heav’n in si­lence stands

While Je­sus bears the stroke.

See

guil­ty mor­tals! See

His side

For you was pierced! For you He died.

Draw near th’ac­curs­èd tree

In won­der lost

that love

Could rise to that de­gree—

Your sen­tence to re­move!

With weep­ing eyes His sor­rows view

He groaned

He bled

He died for you.

O let Him have your hearts

Your bless­ings shall in­crease:

To His He still im­parts

Both right­eous­ness and peace.

His grace shall all your sins sub­due

He groaned

He bled

He died for you.

Bought by His pre­cious blood

You are no more your own;

Give up your­selves to God

And live to Him alone:

Jesus will bear you con­quer­ors through

He groaned

He bled

He died for you.
