[God, the offended God most high]
We are ambassadors for Christ, as
though God did beseech you by us. We pray you in Christ's
stead be ye reconciled to God.
1 Corinthians v. 20.
God, the offended God most high,
Ambassadors to rebels sends:
His messengers His place supply,
And Jesus begs us to be friends:
Us in the stead of Christ they pray,
Us in the stead of God entreat,
To cast our arms our sins away,
And find forgiveness at His feet.

And find forgiveness at His feet.
O God in Christ, Thine embassy,
And proffer'd mercy we embrace,
And gladly reconciled to Thee,
Thy condescending goodness praise:
Poor debtors by our Lord's request
A full acquittance we receive,
And criminals with pardon bless'd,
We at our Judge's instance live.

And gladly reconciled to Thee,
Thy condescending goodness praise:
Poor debtors by our Lord's request

And criminals with pardon bless'd,
