Verse 2: 

He left His Father’s throne above 

So free, so infinite His grace 

Emptied Himself of all but love 

And bled for Adam’s helpless race 

‘Tis mercy all, immense and free

Verse 3: 

Long my imprisoned spirit lay 

Fast bound in sin and nature’s night 

Thine eye diffused a quick’ning ray 

I woke the dungeon flamed with light 

My chains fell off, my heart was free 

I rose, went forth, and followed Thee 

Verse 4: 

No condemnation now I dread 

Jesus, and all in Him, is mine 

Alive in Him, my living Head 

And clothed in righteousness divine 

Bold I approach th’eternal throne 

And claim the crown, through Christ my own
