32. Oh wondrous hour

1.

Oh, wondrous hour when Saviour Thou,

Coequal with th’eternal God,

Beneath our sins didst deign to bow

And shed for us Thy precious blood !

2.

On Thee, the Father's blessed Son,

As Lamb of God our judgment fell ;

That all was borne, that all is done,

Thine agony, Thy cross can tell.

3.

Thy cross, Thy cross ! 'tis there we see

What Thou, our blessed Saviour, art ;

There all the love that dwells in Thee

Was lab’ring in Thy breaking heart.

4.

For us it was: our life we owe,

Our joy, our glory, all to Thee ;

Thy suff’rings in that hour of woe,

Thy vict’ry, Lord, have made us free.
