Say heavnly Powers, where shall we find such love,
al to redeem
Mans mortal crime, and just t to save, [ 215 ]
Dwels in all ie so deare?
all tood mute,
And silence was in heavn: on mans behalf
Patron or Intercessor none appeerd,
Muc durst upon his own head draw [ 220 ]
ture, and ransom set.
And no redemption all mankind
Must , adjudgd to Death and hell
By doom severe, the Son of God,
In whe fulness dwells of love divine, [ 225 ]
mediation thus renewd.
Fat, man shall find grace;
And s find means, t finds her way,
t of thy winged messengers,
to visit all tures, and to all [ 230 ]
Comes unprevented, unimplord, unsought,
happie for man, so coming; he her aide
Can never seek, once dead in sins and lost;
Attonement for ,
Indebted and undon, o bring: [ 235 ]
Behen, mee for him, life for life
I offer, on mee let thine anger fall;
Account mee man; I for his sake will leave
t to thee
Freely put off, and for ly dye [ 240 ]
ell pleasd, on me let Death wreck all his rage;
Under long
Lie vanquis givn me to possess
Life in my self for ever, by thee I live,
to Death I yield, and am his due [ 245 ]
All t of me can die, yet t debt paid,
t not leave me in thsom grave
ted Soule
For ever ion to dwell;
But I sorious, and subdue [ 250 ]
My Vanquised spoile;
Deatoop
Inglorious, of al sting disarmd.
