WHAT WAS IT, BLESSED GOD
1. What was it,
blessed God,
Led Thee to give
Thy son,
To yield Thy well
beloved
For us by sin
undone?
'Twas love
unbounded led Thee thus,
'Twas love
unbounded led Thee thus
To yield Thy well
beloved for us.
2. What led Thy
Son, O God!
To leave Thy throne
on high,
To shed His
precious blood,
To suffer and to
die?
'Twas love,
unbounded love to us,
'Twas love,
unbounded love to us,
Led Him to die and
suffer thus.
3. What moved Thee
to impart
Thy Spirit from
above,
Therewith to fill
our heart
With heavenly peace
and love?
'Twas love,
unbounded love to us,
'Twas love,
unbounded love to us,
Moved Thee to give
Thy Spirit thus.
4. What love to
Thee we owe,
Our God, for all
Thy grace!
Our hearts may well
o'erflow
In everlasting
praise!
Make us, O Lord, to
praise Thee thus,
Make us, O Lord, to
praise Thee thus,
For all Thy
boundless love to us.
