The counsels of redeeming grace
C. M.
1
The counsels of redeeming graceThe sacred leaves unfold;And here the Savior's lovely faceOur raptured eyes behold.
2
Here light, descending from above,Directs our doubtful feet;Here promises of heavenly loveOur ardent wishes meet.
3
Our numerous gifts are here redrest,And all our wants supplied;Nought we can ask to make us blest,Is in this book denied.
4
For these inestimable gains,That so enrich the mind,O may we search with eager pains,Assured that we shall find.
