Author: Anne Steele Appears in 65 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, and didst thou leave the sky,
To bear our griefs and woes?
And didst thou bleed, and groan and die,
For thy rebellious foes?
2 Well might the heavens with wonder view
A love so strange as thine!
No thought of angels ever knew
Compassion so divine!
3 Is there a heart that will not bend
To thy divine control?
Descend, O sovereign love, descend,
And melt that stubborn soul!
4 O, may our willing hearts confess
Thy sweet, thy gentle sway!
Glad captives of thy matchless grace,
Thy righteous rule obey. Topics: The Sinner Repentance and Acceptance Used With Tune: DOWNS
