The Stennetts of England - Joseph Stennett - Hymn Poems

Gracious redeemer, how divine

Gracious redeemer, how divine,
   How wond'rous is Thy love!
The subject of th' eternal songs
   Of blessed spirits above.

Join in the sacred harmony,
   Ye saints on earth below,
To praise Immanuel, from whose name
   A thousand blessings flow.

He left his crown, he left his throne
   By his great father's side;
Wore thorns, sustain'd a heavy cross,
   Was scourg'd and crucify'd.

His was the torment, his the curse;
   Tho all the guilt was ours:
To cleanse us, on our leprous souls from sin
   His vital blood he pours.

Behold how every wound of his
   A precious balm distils,
Which heals the scars that sin had made,
   With joy the sinnier fills.

We see thee at thy table, L O R D,
   By faith, with great delight:
O how refin'd those joys will be
   When faith is turn'd to fight!
