Lyrics

The an­gels gazed to see their God,
A child of man to sin­ners given!
Again, to see His stream­ing blood,
They gazed—and si­lence was in Hea­ven!
The saints ad­mire with strange de­light
Their dy­ing Lord en­throned above,
And praise the length, and breadth and height,
And depth of His stu­pen­dous love.
