Isaac Watts - Psalm 40
Work rating: Low

v.5-10 
L. M.
Christ our sacrifice.

The wonders, Lord, thy love has wrought,
Exceed our praise, surmount our thought;
Should I attempt the long detail,
My speech would faint, my numbers fail,

No blood of beasts on altars spilt
Can cleanse the souls of men from guilt;
But thou hast set before our eyes
An all-sufficient sacrifice.

Lo! thine eternal Son appears,
To thy designs he bows his ears,
Assumes a body well prepared,
And well performs a work so hard.

"Behold, I come," the Savior cries,
With love and duty in his eyes,
"I come to bear the heavy load
Of sins, and do thy will, my God.

"`Tis written in thy great decree,
`Tis in thy book foretold of me,
I must fulfil the Savior`s part;
And lo! thy law is in my heart!

"I`ll magnify thy holy law,
And rebels to obedience draw,
When on my cross I`m lifted high,
Or to my crown above the sky.

"The Spirit shall descend and show
What thou hast done, and what I do
The wond`ring world shall learn thy grace,
Thy wisdom, and thy righteousness."
