Jesus Blessed Mediator { Jesus Blessed Mediator! GUIDANCE-Friedrich F. A. von Flotow (arr. J. N. P attison) Jesus, Blessed Mediator! } Jesus, blessed Mediator! Thou the airy path hast trod; Thou the Judge, the Consummator! Shepherd of the fold of God! Can I trust a fellow being? Can I trust an angel's care? Beam around my spirit there. Blessed fold! no foe can enter; And no friend departeth thence; Jesus is their sun, their centre, And their shield Omnipotence! Blessed! for the Lamb shall feed them, All their tears shall wipe away, To the living fountains lead them, Till fruition's perfect day. Lo! it comes, that day of wonder! Louder chorals shake the skies: Hades' gates burst asunder; See! the new clothed myriads rise! Thought! repress thy weak endeavor; Here must reason prostate fall; Oh, th'ineffable Forever! And Th'eternal All in All!
