Herein is wonder of wonders:
He came below to raise me above,
Was born like me that I might become like him.
Herein is love;
When I cannot rise to him he draws near on wings
of grace,
To raise me to himself.
Herein is power;
When Deity and humanity were infinitely apart
He united them in indissoluble unity,
The uncreate and the created,
Herein is wisdom;
When I was undone, with no will to return to
him,
And no intellect to devise recovery,
He came, God-incarnate, to save me to the
uttermost,
As man to die my death, to shed satisfying blood
on my behalf,
To work out a perfect righteousness for me.
