[Jesus, what grace dost Thou bestow]

The house of David shall be as God, &c. —xii. 8.

Jesus, what grace dost Thou bestow
Upon Thy church, Thy family!
Their sins forgiven the children know,
The fathers all resemble Thee:
The Angel of the Lord Thou art,
And we shall in Thine image shine,
Created after Thine own heart,
Sinless, angelical, Divine!
