Who can worthily commend

Verse 1
Who can worthily commend
Thy love unsearchable?
Love which made thee condescend
Our curse and death to feel!
Thou the one eternal God,
Who didst thyself our ransom pay,
Hast with thy own precious blood
Wash’d all our sins away.

Verse 2
By the Spirit of our head
Anointed priests and kings,
Conquerors of the world we tread
On all terrestrial things,
Sit in heavenly places down,
(While yet we in the flesh remain,)
Now partakers of thy throne
Before thy Father reign.

Verse 3
In thy members here beneath
The Intercessor prays,
Here we in thy Spirit breathe
The quintessence of praise,
Offer up our all to God,
And God beholds with gracious eyes
First the purchase of thy blood,
And then our sacrifice.

Verse 4
Jesus, let thy kingdom come
(Inspir’d by thee we pray)
Previous to the general doom,
The everlasting day!
Take possession of thine own;
And let us then our Saviour see
Glorious on thy heavenly throne,
Thro’ all eternity.
