So Seen

"There came a certain ruler, and worshipped Him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay Thy hand upon her, and she shall live.... When the people were put forth, He went in, and took her by the hand, and the made arose. And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.... And the multitudes marvelled, saying, it was never so seen in Israel" (Matthew 9:25-33).

Never so seen, no, not to this hour,
Was mercy and majesty shown,
Than when our Lord Jesus unveiled His power,
And God with us then was made known.

Never so seen was such infinite worth,
Nor such a display of God's grace,
Than when our Lord Jesus descended to earth
To suffer and die in our place.

Never so seen was the marvelous love
That God in our Savior revealed,
Than when our Lord Jesus came down from above
In order that we might be healed.

Never so seen was the manifestation
Of power to conquer the grave,
Than when our Lord Jesus arose with salvation;
He lives, and He's able to save!
