Amazing love to mortals show’d!

Verse 1
Amazing love to mortals shew’d!
The sinless body of our God
Was fasten’d to the tree;
And shall our sinful members live?
No, Lord, they shall not thee survive,
They all shall die with thee.

Verse 2
The feet which did to evil run,
The hands which violent acts have done,
The greedy heart and eyes,
Base weapons of iniquity,
We offer up to death with thee
A whole burnt sacrifice.

Verse 3
Our sins are on thine altar laid,
We do not for their being plead,
Or circumscribe thy power:
Bound on thy cross thou seest them lie:
Let all this cursed Adam die,
Die, and revive no more.

Verse 4
Root out the seeds of pride and lust,
That each may of thy Passion boast
Which doth the freedom give,
“The world to me is crucified,
And I who on his cross have died
To God for ever live.”
