God Reconciled in Christ

Verse 1

Dearest of all the names above, My Jesus, and my God, Who can resist Thy heavenly love, Or trifle with Thy blood?

Verse 2

’Tis by the merits of Thy death The Father smiles again; ’Tis by Thine interceding breath The Spirit dwells with men.

Verse 3

Till God in human flesh I see, My thoughts no comfort find; The holy, just, and sacred Three Are terrors to my mind.

Verse 4

But if Immanuel’s face appear, My hope, my joy begins; His name forbids my slavish fear, His grace removes my sins.

Verse 5

While Jews on their own law rely, And Greeks of wisdom boast, I love th’incarnate mystery, And there I fix my trust.
