We look unto the Son, In whom Thy heart delighted, Who all Thy will hath done; And by the one chief treasure Thy bosom freely gave, Thine own pure love we measure, Thy willing mind to save. 2. O God of mercy-Father! The one unchanging claim, The brightest hopes, we gather

> From Christ's most precious name: What always sounds so sweetly In Thine unwearied ear, Has freed our souls completely From all our guilt and fear.

1.  The trembling sinner feareth That God can ne'er forget; But one full payment cleareth His memory of all debt. When nought beside could free us, Or set our souls at large, The death of God's Beloved Secured a full discharge.
    
2.  No wrath God's heart retaineth To usward who believe; No dread in ours remaineth As we His love receive; Returning sons He kisses, And with His robe invests; His perfect love dismisses All terror from our breasts.
