Christ's All-sufficiency

Verse 1

How fast their guilt and sorrows rise, Who haste to seek some idol-god! I will not taste their sacrifice, Their off'rings of forbidden blood.

Verse 2

My God provides a richer cup, And nobler food to live upon: He for my life has offer'd up Jesus, his best belovèd Son.

Verse 3

His love is my perpetual feast; By day his counsels guide me right; And be his name for ever blest, Who gives me sweet advice by night.

Verse 4

I set him still before mine eyes; At my right hand he stands prepar'd To keep my soul from all surprise, And be my everlasting guard.
