XCIX. The Humiliation and Exaltation of GOD'S Israel.

AMAZING Grace of GOD on high!
And will the LORD look down
On Sinners, while in Dust they lie,
And dread his awful Frown?

Weaker than Worms, O LORD, are we,
And viler far than they;
Yet in these Reptiles weak and vile
Dost thou thy Pow'r display.

Jehovah's sov'reign Voice is heard,
The Worm lifts up its Head,
And Mountains, that would crush it down,
Before the Worm are fled.

Thou holy One, thine Israel's King,
Thou our Redeemer art,
Nor shall the Blessings of thy Hand
From thy Redeem'd depart.

Thy Love shall its own Work fulfil,
And Grace shall rise on Grace,
Till Worms of Earth around thy Throne
With Angels find a Place.
