EN 4160 O Wonder Amazing

John.3.16

Versi Version 1

O wonder amazing! At earth’s midnight hour

The ages are gazing in awe at its power;

The great secret telling, how anguish is stilled,

The evil dispelling: The Word is fulfilled.

O hearts that have carried your sorrows untold,

The Helper that tarried come here and behold!

What prophets have spoken the trial ensures,

By tortures unbroken ’tis love that endures.

O love, ceasing never, from thee what can part?

What height or depth sever from thy bleeding heart?

Now opens the portal, O blest Jesu mine!

Of mansions immortal, of mercy divine.
