1. By Thee, O God, invited,
  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.
  
3. 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.
  
4. 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.
