HYMN 11. Fourth Part. L.M.
Jesus the only Saviour. (cont.)
4 |
Ordain'd by everlasting love,
To the bright realms of endless day,
|
4 |
Safe lead us thro' this world of night,
And bring us to the blissful plains,
The regions of unclouded light,
Where perfect joy for ever reigns.
|
HYMN 11. Fourth Part. L.M.
I love Jesus.
1 |
THE wond'ring world inquires to know
Why I should love my Jesus so:
"What are his charms," say they, "above
"The objects of a mortal love?"
|
2 |
All-over glorious is my Lord,
He must be lov'd and yet ador'd;
His worth if all the nations knew,
Sure the whole earth would love him too.
|
3 |
The Love of Christ is strong as death,
He seal'd it with his latest breath;
My love to him, secur'd by grace,
No pains nor doubts can e'er deface.
|
4 |
What can destroy, what separate
A love so pure, so free, so great?
In heav'n both faith and hope subside;
But love forever will abide.
|
HYMN 12. First Part. L.M.
The offices of Christ.
1 |
WE bless the Prophet of the Lord,
That comes with truth and grace;
Jesus, thy spirit, and thy word,
Shall lead us in thy ways.
|
2 |
We rev'rence our High-Priest above,
Who offered up his blood,
And lives to carry on his love,
By pleading with our God.

HYMN 12. First Part. L.M.
The offices of Christ. (cont.)
3 |
We honour our exalted King;
How sweet are his commands!
He guards our souls from hell and sin,
By his almighty hands.
|
4 |
Hosanna to his blessed name,
Who saves by glorious ways;
Th' anointed Saviour has a claim
To our immortal praise.
|
HYMN 12. Second Part. P.M.
The offices of Christ.
1 |
JOIN all the glorious names
Of wisdom, love, and pow'r,
That ever mortals knew,
That angels ever bore;
All are too mean to speak his worth;
Too mean to set my Saviour forth.
|
2 |
Great Prophet of my God,
My tongue would bless thy name:
By thee the joyful news
Of our salvation came;
The joyful news of sins forgiv'n,
Of hell subdu'd, and peace with heav'n.
|
3 |
Jesus my great High Priest,
Offer'd his blood and died;
My guilty conscience seeks
No sacrifice beside.
His pow'rful blood did once atone;
And now it pleads before the throne.
|
4 |
My dear and mighty Lord,
My Conq'ror, and my King;
Thy sceptre and thy sword,
Thy reigning grace I sing.
Thine is the pow'r; behold! I sit
In willing bonds beneath thy feet.
