HYMN 16. On CHRIST's Suretiship.
1
Lord we've run out, and wasted allour Riches and our Store;
21
thou wilt trust us no more:
2
Unless there is a Surety foundwe must in Prison ly,
And bear thy dreadful Wrath, O God,
unto Eternity.
3
And therefore Jesus thou didst send,no Friend had we to bring;
All good from hence, we may perceive,
doth from thy Bowels spring,
4
'Twas from the Worth and Dignitywhich in Christ's Person lay,
He did God's Justice satisfie,
and all our Debts defray.
5
O let Men dread how they despisesuch sovereign Grace and Love,
Because Mysterious in their Eyes,
and also far above
6
Depraved Reason to conceive,that such who guilty be,
Should, by another's Righteousness,
from Sin and Guilt be free.
7
Al praise and glory unto God,and to the Son whom we Adore;
And to the Holy-Ghost likewise,
be Praise for Evermore.
