Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #210 (1888) First Line: How condescending and how kind Lyrics: 1 How condescending and how kind
Was God's eternal Son!
Our misery reached his heavenly mind,
And pity brought him down.
2 He sunk beneath our heavy woes,
To raise us to his throne;
There's ne'er a gift his hand bestows,
But costs his heart a groan.
3 This was compassion, like a God,
That when the Saviour knew
The price of pardon was his blood,
His pity ne'er withdrew.
4 Now, though he reigns exalted high,
His love is still as great;
Well he remembers Calvary,
Nor let his saints forget. Topics: Calvary; Charity; Christ Agony of; Christ Condescension of; Christ Crucifixion of; Christ Humanity of; Christ Incarnation of; Christ Sufferings of; Christ Weeping; Christ Compassion of Scripture: Luke 23:33 Languages: English Tune Title: HOLY TRINITY
