Text:God, in the gospel of his Son

209. God, in the gospel of his Son

1 God, in the gospel of his Son,
Makes his eternal counsels known:
'Tis here his richest mercy shines,
And truth is drawn in fairest lines.

2 Wisdom its dictates here imparts,
To form our minds, to cheer our hearts;
Its influence makes the sinner live,
It bids the drooping saint revive.

3 Our raging passion it controls,
And comfort yields to contrite souls;
It brings a better world in view,
And guides us all our journey through.

4 May this blest volume ever lie
Close to my heart, and near my eye;
'Till life's last hour my soul engage,
And be my chosen heritage!
