'Twas Not For Our Great Love To TheeBy H. d'A. Champney (1854-1942)Meter: 8.6.8.4. 'Twas not for our great love to Thee That Thou didst send Thy Son; That spring of love, O God, we see In Thee alone. What love, Lord Jesus, brought Thee down Our hardened hearts to win To be despised and spit upon, And bear our sin! The sins of many Thou didst bear, Of all who look to Thee, When God, Thy God, forsook Thee there, On Calv'ry's tree. 'Tis finished! loud triumphant cry Ere Thou didst yield Thy breath! The veil was rent, and God draws nigh To us, through death. That glorious resurrection morn Bids doubts for ever cease; For far and wide the news is borne Of perfect peace. Yes, peace! since every claim is met, Lord Jesus, by Thy blood, And Thou, our peace, art ris'n, and set On high by God. Thy grace, O Lord, alone revealed That wondrous heart of Thine; We thank Thee, and ourselves we yield To love divine.
