Here is mercy; my God loved me;
What was I to whom he should stoop?
Why with faith chose he me to see;
Where was light through darkness, sin's root.

Here is mercy; my God loved me;
Child of condemnation, his wrath.
A captive liberated he,
No comfort but in him at last.

Here is mercy; my God loved me;
Beloved Son, my  beloved Christ be.
