Verse 1
The Father full of love unknown
Gave to the world his only Son;
Full of the same mysterious love
The Son forsook his throne above,
And shew’d his willingness to save,
When for the church himself he gave.

Verse 2
Whom the paternal grace bestow’d,
He gave himself both man and God,
Assum’d our flesh, and stoop’d to die,
That all might own the Lord most high,
And praise the giver and the given,
The only God come down from heaven.

Verse 3
God over all we bless thy name,
Thy glorious majesty proclaim,
Jehovah God in Jesus see,
Whose sacred blood distain’d the tree,
That every ransom’d soul may find
Thy death the life of all mankind.
