1 And did the darling Son of God
  For sinners deign to bleed?
  The purchase of that precious blood
  Must needs be rich indeed.

2 God’s wisdom would not pay for toys
  So great a price as this;
  ’Tis God-like glory, boundless joys;
  ’Tis unexampled bliss.

3 Saints, raise your expectations high;
  Hope all that heaven has good;
  The blood of Christ has brought you nigh –
  Invaluable blood!

4 Eye has not seen, nor ear has heard,
  Nor can the heart conceive,
  What blessings are for them prepared
  Who in the Lord believe.

5 By others, for their virtue fair,
  Let rich rewards be sought;
  Give me, my God, to freely share
  What thou hast freely bought.
