[Jehovah doth Himself conceal]

His mercy is on them that fear Him. —i. 50.

Jehovah doth Himself conceal
In brightness inaccessible,
Unsearchable, unknown.
Struck with His holiness we fear,
And quake, and tremble to draw near
The glories of His throne.
But mercy doth the dread remove,
Mercy reveals the God of love
To sinners reconciled:

111

Mercy and holiness agree,
And God and man made one we see
In that celestial Child.
Mercy doth every soul embrace,
That reverences the God of grace
Incarnated below;
Mercy for all far off, or nigh,
Flows from its Fountain in the sky,
And shall for ever flow.
