HYMN 19. He's White & Reddy, sung at the Sacrament.
1
My Hearts Delight is Red and white,the Lilly and the Rose:
So sweet a Grace adorns his Face
ten Thousand he out-does!
2
Was he all VVhite and was not Red?no Sufferer for my Sin?
My Blood would rest on my own Head
and no Joy have within!
3
But my dear Lord is VVite and Red,this mixture pleaseth me;
Cause for my Sins he Suffered
who from all Sin was free!
4
What a reviving Sight is this?a righteous Saviour's Blood
Is th'bath of Sin, the spring of Bliss
most Pure, most sweet and good!
5
His God-head, and his Governmentare infinite and Pure;
His Eyes are like the Eyes of Doves,
most constant, so indure.
6
His Mouth is most exceeding sweet,he's altogether so;
Down from his Head unto his Feet
all joys and comforts flow:
7
O Sing his Praise for this is hemy soul doth so admire;
This is my Friend, if you would know,
this is my hearts desire!
