HYMNS SELECTED 95 His radiant throne on high, (Surprising mercy! love unknown!) To suffer, bleed, and die! 3
He took the dying traitor’s place, And suffered in his stead; For man (O miracle of grace!) For man the Saviour bled.
4
Dear Lord, what heavenly wonders dwell In thy atoning blood! By this are sinners snatched from hell, And rebels brought to God.
5 What glad return can I impart For favours so divine? O take my all, this worthless heart, And make it wholly thine.

112th J. A. Rothe translated by J. Weeks
Redemption Found. 2 Cor. 5. 1; 1 Pet. 1. 18-20 1 Now I have found the ground wherein My anchor, hope, shall firm remain, The wounds of Jesus, for my sin Before the world’s foundation slain; Whose mercy shall unshaken stay, When heaven and earth are fled away. 2
[O grace, thou bottomless abyss, My sins are swallowed up in thee! Covered is my unrighteousness; From condemnation I am free. For Jesus’ blood, through earth and skies, Mercy, eternal mercy, cries.]
