HYMN 22 PART 1
L. M.
Christ the eternal life. Rom. 9:5.
306 Jesus, our Savior and our God, Arrayed in majesty and blood, Thou art our life; our souls in thee Possess a full felicity. | All our immortal hopes are laid In thee, our surety and our head; Thy cross, thy cradle, and thy throne, Are big with glories yet unknown. | Let atheists scoff, and Jews blaspheme Th' eternal life and Jesus' name; A word of thy almighty breath Dooms the rebellious world to death. | But let my soul for ever lie Beneath the blessings of thine eye; 'Tis heav'n on earth, 'tis heav'n above, To see thy face and taste thy love. | |
