Page 31 Universal Redemption. Hear, holy, holy, holy, Lord, Father of all mankind, Spirit of love, eternal word, In mystick union join'd. Hear, and inspire my stammering tongue, Exalt my abject thought, Speak from my mouth a sacred song, Who spak'st the world from nought. Thy darling attribute I praise Which all alike may prove, The glory of thy boundless grace, Thy universal love. Mercy I sing, transporting sound, The joy of earth and heaven! Mercy by every sinner found, Who takes what God hath given. Mercy for all, thy hands have made, Immense, and unconfin'd, Throughout thy every work display'd, Embracing all mankind. Thine eye survey'd the fallen race When sunk, in sin they lay, Their misery call'd for all thy grace, But justice stopp'd the way. Mercy the fatal bar remov'd, Thy only Son it gave, To save a world so dearly lov'd, A sinful world to save.
