354. The wonders of redeeming love

1 The wonders of redeeming love
Our highest thoughts exceed;
The Son of God comes from above,
The Son of God comes from above
For sinful man to bleed.

2 He gives himself, his life, his all,
A sinless Sacrifice.
For man he drains the cup of gall,
For man the victim dies.

3 And now before his Father's face
His precious blood he pleads;
For those who seek the throne of grace
His love still intercedes.

4 He knows the frailties of our frame,
For he has borne our grief;
Our great High Priest once felt the same,
And he can send relief.

5 His love will not be satisfied,
Till he in glory see
The faithful ones for whom he died
From sin forever free.
