"The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein... He sent redemption unto His people" (Psalm 111:2,9). "The curse causeless shall not come" (Proverbs 26:2). "If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto My name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you" (Malachi 2:2). "But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved" (Acts 15:11).
How
great are the works of the Lord,
And
great is our pleasure therein,
But
surely the greatest explored
Is
found in redemption from sin!
As
we have considered the curse
That
comes as our sin's consequence,
Above
every work, we rehearse
The
blessing of God's great defense.
In
view of the curse's exemption,
The
Lord calls the lost to repent,
Receiving
His wondrous redemption
In
Christ, who from heaven was sent.
O
Lord, we consider Your grace
The
work above all we've esteemed,
Because
it removes every trace
Of
judgment from those You've redeemed!
