Lamb Slain Before the Foundations of the World

John Peacock • English

Primary Scripture: 1 Peter 1:20

Verse 1

How shall our feeble lips proclaim The honours of the Saviour's name? Or how the gratitude declare, Our hearts inflam'd to Jesus bear?

Verse 2

To manifest his wond'rous love, Behold he leaves the worlds above; From climes of bliss beyond the sky, Swift he descends, to bleed and die.

Verse 3

Lo, he again from death revives, Jesus the great Redeemer lives; High, seated on his Father's throne, He sheds his choicest blessings down.
