-Let the old heathens tune their song
-Of great Diana and of Jove;
-But the sweet theme that moves my tongue
-Is my Redeemer and His love.
-Behold, a God descends and dies
-To save my soul from gaping hell:
-How the black gulf where Satan lies
-Yawned to receive me when I fell!
-Infinite Lover! gracious Lord!
-To Thee be endless honors given;
-Thy wondrous name shall be adored
-Round the wide earth and wider heaven.
