Who marvel at his power, admire
The greater wonder of his grace,
For God, th’ incarnate God t’ expire41
Is more than all hell’s host to chase:
From Satan’s hands who rescued man
Into the hands of men betray’d,
Endur’d the cross, the shame, the pain,
And love’s omnipotence display’d.
Who marvel at His power, admire
