4 But in redemption, O what grace! Its wonders, O, what thought can trace! Here, wisdom shines for ever bright; Praise him, my soul, with sweet delight. 106 L. M. Grace. My God, how excellent thy grace! Whence all our hope and comfort springs; The sons of Adam in distress, Fly to the shadow of thy wings. 2 Life, like a fountain rich and free, Springs from the presence of my Lord, And in thy light our souls shall see The glories promised in thy word. 107 L. M. Creation and redemption. Give to our God immortal praise; Mercy and truth are all his ways: Wonders of grace to God belong; Repeat his mercies in your song. 2 Give to the Lord of lords renown, The King of kings with glory crown: His mercies ever shall endure, When lords and kings are known no more. 3 He built the earth, he spread the sky, And fixed the starry lights on high: Wonders of grace to God belong; Repeat his mercies in your song. 4 He fills the sun with morning light, He bids the moon direct the night: His mercies ever shall endure, When suns and moons shall shine no more. 5 He sent his Son with power to save From guilt, and darkness, and the grave: Wonders of grace to God belong; Repeat his mercies in your song. 6 Through this vain world he guides our feet, And leads us to his heavenly seat: His mercies ever shall endure, When this vain world shall be no more. 108 L. M. The reconciliation. O love, beyond conception great, That formed the vast, stupendous plan, Where all divine perfections meet To reconcile rebellious man: 2 There wisdom shines in fullest blaze, And justice all her right maintains— Astonished angels stoop to gaze, While mercy o’er the guilty reigns. 3 Yes, mercy reigns, and justice too; In Christ they both harmonious meet; He paid to justice all her due; And now he fills the mercy-seat. 109 L. M. What is man? Psalm 8. Lord, what is man? Extremes how wide In this mysterious nature join! The flesh to worms and dust allied, The soul immortal and divine. 2 Divine at first, a holy flame Kindled by heaven’s inspiring breath; Till sin, with power prevailing, came; Then followed darkness, shame and death. 3 But Jesus, O amazing grace! Assumed our nature as his own, Obeyed and suffered in our place, Then took it with him to his throne. 4 Now, what is man, when grace reveals, The virtue of a Saviour’s blood? Again a life divine he feels, Despises earth and walks with God.
