Ye who profess to love the Lord

Paul Henkel • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 35

Verse 1

Ye who profess the Lord to love, Let all your lives and actions prove, With pure desires and ardent zeal, Attach'd to Christ to do his will.

Verse 2

Walk ye in love as christians ought, Remember ye are dearly bought, And ransom'd with the greatest price, When Jesus died our sacrifice.

Verse 3

A sacrifice of sweetest smell As pleas'd the righteous father well, When his dear precious blood was spilt, It then atton'd for all our guilt.

Verse 4

Amazing love beyond degree! No great love could ever be, O christians take this love in view! And learn what sovereign love can do.

Verse 5

This love renews the soul within, And makes the mind avers'd to sin; All works of darkness are denied Reprov'd, condemn'd and mortified.
