God, in the gospel of his Son
1
God, in the gospel of his Son,Makes his eternal counsels known;'T is 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 rising passions it controls,And comfort yields to contrite souls;It brings a better world in view,And guides us all our journey through.
