God in the Gospel of His Son
{God in the Gospel of His Son UXBRIDGE-Lowell Mason WILLINGTON-F. W. Williams HOLBORN-Old melody (arr. Rev. Cornelius Elven) ILLA-Lowell Mason ROCKINGHAM-Lowell Mason God, in the Gospel of His Son } God, in the gospel of His Son Makes His eternal counsels know; Where love in all its glory shines, And truth is drawn in fairest lines. Here sinners of a humble frame May taste His grace, and learn His Name; May read, in characters of blood, The wisdom, power, and grace of God. The prisoner here may break his chains; The weary rest from all his pains; The captive feel his bondage cease; The mourner find the way of peace. Here faith reveals to mortal eyes A brighter world beyond the skies; Here shines the light which guides our way From earth to realms of endless day. O grant us grace, Almighty Lord, To read and mark Thy holy word; Its truths with meekness to receive, And by it holy precepts live. |
