1. Behold what love the Father hath
On guilty men bestowed,
That we, who children are of wrath,
Should children be of God.

2. O how beyond expression great
His love in Christ doth shine!
‘Tis like Himself, the Eternal God,
Past knowledge, all divine.

3. Behold, for fallen, guilty man
The Lord of glory dies;
Lays down His life us to redeem,
A precious sacrifice.

4. Peace and goodwill are now to man
Most gloriously displayed,
And life eternal we obtain
From God in Christ our Head.
