GRACE UNEQUALLED

Well might won’dring angels cry,
“Glory be to God on high,
Peace on earth, good will to men,
Lost mankind is found again.”

Join my soul, their holy song,
Emulate the brighter throng,
Hail the everlasting word,
Welcome thy descending Lord!

Grace unequall’d! Love unknown!
Jesus lays aside his crown,
Clothes himself with flesh and blood,
Takes the manhood into God.

Harden’d rebels tho’ we are,
Lo, he comes to sojourn here:
See him lie where oxen feed,
This his chamber, hay his bed!

God (O hear it with surprise!)
For a manger leaves the skies,
By assuming flesh beneath,
Render’d capable of death.

From their maker turn’d aside,
As in Adam all have dy’d,
So whoe’er his grace receive,
Shall in Christ be made alive.
