8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.( 569.)

NEE, O see! what love the Father

our race,

How He bends with sweet compassion Over us His beaming face!

See how He His best and dearest For the very worst hath given, His own Son for us poor sinners; See, O see! the love of Heaven!

2 See, O see! what love the Saviour Also hath on us bestowed, How He bled for us and suffered, How He bare the heavy load! On the cross, and in the garden, Oh! how sore was His distress! Is not this a love that passeth

Aught that tongue can e'er express? 3 See, O see! what love is shown us Also by the Holy Ghost! How He strives with us poor sinners, Even when we sin the most! Teaching, comforting, correcting, Where He sees it needful is! O, what heart would not be thankful For a threefold love like this?

C. J. P. Spitta, tr. by R. Massie.

TE give immortal praise

love,

II

For all our comforts here And better hopes above;

He sent His own eternal Son To die for sins that man had done. To God the Son belongs

Immortal glory too,

Who bought us with His blood From everlasting woe;
