[But we a mighty Daysman know]
Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, &c.
—ix. 33.
But
we a mighty Daysman know,
By love Divine to sinners given,
The Lord of all who dwelt below,
And mediates betwixt earth and heaven
Of both the nature He partakes,
United in Himself alone,
An end of all the difference makes,
For God and man in Christ are one.
Thou, Jesus, Thou that Umpire art,
Whose hand on man and God is laid:
Assure a trembling sinner's heart,
My sin is purged, my peace is made:
Thou who hast apprehended me,
Give me Thyself to apprehend:
My peace, my sole perfection be,
My present and eternal Friend.
