Join all the names of love and power That ever men or angels bore, All are too mean to speak his worth, Or set lmmannel's glory forth. | But O what condescending ways He takes to teach his heav'nly grace My eyes with joy and wonder see What forms of love he bears for me. | [The Angel of the cov'nant stands With his commission in his hands, Sent from his Father's milder throne, To make the great salvation known.] | [Great Prophet! let me bless thy name; By thee the joyful tidings came Of wrath appeased, of sins forgiv'n, Of hell subdued, and peace with heav'u.] | [My bright Example and my Guide, I would be walking near thy side; O let me never run astray, Nor follow the forbidden way!] | [I love my Shepherd, he shall keep My wand'ring soul among his sheep; He feeds his flock, he calls their names, And in his bosom bears the lambs.] | [My Surety undertakes my cause, Answering his Father's broken laws: Behold my soul at freedom set, My Surety paid the dreadful debt.] | [Jesus, my great High Priest, has died; I seek no sacrifice beside; His blood did once for all atone, And now it pleads before the throne.] | [My Advocate appears on high, The Father lays his thunder by; Not all that earth or hell can say Shall turn my Father's heart away.] | [My Lord, my Conqueror, and my King! Thy sceptre and thy sword I sing; Thine is the vict'ry, and I sit A joyful subject at thy feet.] | [Aspire, my soul, to glorious deeds, The Captain of salvation leads; March on, nor fear to win the day, Though death and hell obstruct the way.] | [Should death, and hell, and powers unknown, Put all their forms of mischief on, I shall be safe; for Christ displays Salvation in more sovereign ways.] | |
