LyicsGod, in the gospel of his Son,
Makes his eternal counsels known;
Tis here his richest mercy shines,
And truth is drawn in fairest lines.
Here sinners of an humble frame
May taste his grace and learn his name;
Tis writ in characters of blood
Severely just, immensely good.
Here Jesus, in ten thousand ways,
His soul attracting charms displays;
Recounts his poverty and pains,
And tells his love in melting strains.
May this blest volume ever lie
Close to my heart, and near my eye
Till life's last hour my soul engage,
And be my chosen heritage.
