He left His Father's throne above,
C G D/F#
So free, so in — finite His grace;
D/F# G G D/F#
Emptied Himself of all but love,
C G D/F# G
And bled for Adam's helpless race;
G C D/F#
'Tis mercy all, immense and free;
G C D/F# G
For, O my God, it found out me.
​
Refrain
G C G
Long my imprisoned spirit lay
C G D/F#
Fast bound in sin and nature's night;
D/F# G G D/F#
Thine eye diffused a quick'ning ray,
C G D/F# G
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
G C D/F#
My chains fell off, my heart was free;
G C D/F# G
I rose, went forth and followed Thee.
​
Refrain
​
G C G
No condemnation now I dread;
C G D/F#
Jesus, and all in Him is mine!
D/F# G G D/F#
Alive in Him, my living Head,
C G D/F# G
And clothed in righteousness divine,
G C D/F#
Bold I approach the eternal throne,
G C D/F# G
And claim the crown, through Christ my own.
