And can it be, that I should gain

An interest in the Saviour’s blood?

Died He for me, who caused His pain –

For me, who Him to death pursued?

Amazing love! How can it be

That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?

2

’Tis mystery all! The-Immortal dies:

Who can explore His strange design?

In vain the first-born seraph tries

To sound the depths of love divine.

’Tis mercy all! Let earth adore,

Let angel minds inquire no more.

3

He left His Father’s throne above –

So free, so infinite His grace-

Emptied Himself of all but love,

And bled for Adam’s helpless race:

’Tis mercy all, immense and free;

For, O my God, it found out me!

4

No condemnation now I dread;

Jesus, and all in Him, is mine!

Alive in Him, my living head,

And clothed in righteousness divine,

Bold I approach the-eternal throne,

And claim the crown, through Christ my own.

Sermon by Rev. Jake Zabel of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Dalby, Queensland, Australia on Matthew 25:31-46

1

Go, my soul, to Calvary,

Stand before the cross in wonder;

See how Jesus died for thee,

Mark it well, and humbly ponder;

Should thy sins not grieve thee now

Cold and hard as stone art thou.

2

O that man of sorrows see,

Hanging there twixt earth and heaven,

Nailed to that accurs6d tree,

Heart and soul by torments riven.

Bleeding, tortured, crucified,

See thy Lord: for thee He died.

3

Holy, spotless Lamb of God,

‘Twas my sin and my transgression

Brought Thee here to shed Thy blood,

And to bear this cruel passion.

To redeem my bitter loss

Thou must die upon the cross.

4

Lamb of God, look down, behold,

For Thy love I here adore Thee;

In Thy wounds my heart enfold,

As in tears I stand before Thee.

As I watch Thy pains and woes

Full of grief, my heart o’erflows.

5

Never, nevermore can I

Recompense what Thou didst suffer;

Though I serve Thee till I die,

Though a thousand worlds I offer,

Naught that I can do or say

Can Thy least of pains repay.

6

One thing only can I do:

All my love, Lord, here I tender;

At Thy cross, my faith to show,

Heart and life to Thee surrender.

Take and make this heart of mine

Always, only, wholly Thine.
