WONDROUS GRACE.

By Roswell F. Cottrell

How fallen, how debased is man! What ruin sin has wrought! What wondrous love devised the plan, And our salvation sought!
Oh! what amazing stoop of grace For Jesus to descend, The Son of God, to take our place And die the sinner's friend!
Can wretched man still be so vile To slight his dying love, Cling to his sins and hope the while To reign in Heaven above?
Some wonder why the saved by grace Should be in number small; But rightly viewed the marvel is There's any saved at all.
That man so fallen and debased, So blind, so much in need, Can e'er be rescued and be raised, Is marvelous indeed.
Amazing, condescending love! That brought the Saviour down To raise lost man to thrones above, To an immortal crown!
R. F. COTTRELL.
