THE CHRISTIAN.
Who is as the Christian great?
Bought and wash'd with sacred blood,
Crowns he sees beneath his feet,
Soars aloft, and walks with God.
Bought and wash'd with sacred blood,
Crowns he sees beneath his feet,
Soars aloft, and walks with God.
Who is as the Christian wise?
He his nought for all hath given,
Bought the pearl of greatest price,
Nobly barter'd earth for heaven.
He his nought for all hath given,
Bought the pearl of greatest price,
Nobly barter'd earth for heaven.
Who is as the Christian blest?
He hath found the long-sought stone,
He is join'd to Christ his rest,
He and happiness are one.
He hath found the long-sought stone,
He is join'd to Christ his rest,
He and happiness are one.
Earth and heaven together meet,
Gifts in him and graces join,
Make the character complete,
All immortal, all Divine.
Gifts in him and graces join,
Make the character complete,
All immortal, all Divine.
Lo! his clothing is the Sun,
The bright Sun of Righteousness;
He hath put salvation on,
Jesus is his beauteous dress.
The bright Sun of Righteousness;
He hath put salvation on,
Jesus is his beauteous dress.
165
Lo! he feeds on living Bread,
Drinks the fountain from above,
Leans on Jesu's breast his head,
Feasts for ever on His love.
Drinks the fountain from above,
Leans on Jesu's breast his head,
Feasts for ever on His love.
Angels here his servants are,
Spread for him their golden wings,
To his throne of glory bear,
Seat him by the King of kings.
Spread for him their golden wings,
To his throne of glory bear,
Seat him by the King of kings.
Who shall gain that heavenly height,
Who his Saviour's face shall see?
I, who claim it in His right;
Christ hath bought it all for me.
Who his Saviour's face shall see?
I, who claim it in His right;
Christ hath bought it all for me.
