Isaiah 52:14: The angels gazed to see their God

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

The angels gazed to see their God,
A child of man to sinners given!
Again, to see His streaming blood,
They gazed — and silence was in heaven!
The saints admire with strange delight
Their dying Lord enthroned above.
And praise the length, and breadth, and height,
And depth of His stupendous love.
