The Excellency of the Christian Religion

Verse 1

Let everlasting glories crown Thy head, my Saviour and my Lord; Thy hands have brought salvation down, And writ the blessing in Thy Word.

Verse 2

In vain our trembling conscience seeks Some solid ground to rest upon; With long despair our spirit breaks, Till we apply to Thee alone.

Verse 3

How well Thy blessed truths agree! How wise and holy Thy commands! Thy promises, how firm they be! How firm our hope and comfort stands!

Verse 4

Should all the forms that men devise Assault my faith with treacherous art, I'd call them vanity and lies, And bind Thy Gospel to my heart.
