Amazing mystery of love!

Verse 1
Amazing mystery of love!
While posting to eternal pain,
God saw his rebels from above,
And stoop’d into a mortal man.

Verse 2
His mercy cast a pitying look;
By love, meer causeless love inclin’d,
Our guilt and punishment he took,
And died a victim for mankind.

Verse 3
His blood procur’d our life and peace,
And quench’d the wrath of hostile heaven;
Justice gave way to our release,
And God hath all my sins forgiven.

Verse 4
Jesu, our pardon we receive,
The purchase of that blood of thine,
And now begin by grace to live,
And breathe the breath of love divine.
