PSALM 69 PART 3
C. M.
Christ's obedience and death; or, God glorified and sinners saved.
121 Father, I sing thy wondrous grace, I bless my Savior's name; He bought salvation for the poor, And bore the sinner's shame. | His deep distress has raised us high; His duty and his zeal Fulfilled the law which mortals broke, And finished all thy will. | His dying groans, his living songs, Shall better please my God Than harp or trumpet's solemn sound, Than goat's or bullock's blood. | This shall his humble followers see, And set their hearts at rest They by his death draw near to thee, And live for ever blest. | Let heav'n and all that dwell on high To God their voices raise, While lands and seas assist the sky, And join t' advance the praise. | Zion is thine, most holy God, Thy Son shall bless her gates; And glory purchased by his blood For thy own Isr'el waits. | |
