The Christian's Duty ‎#S.XIII

S.XIII. The Grace of God, sovereign, universal and free

1 Magnificent free Grace, arise,
Outshine the Thoughts of shallow Men;
Sov'reign, preventing all surprize,
To him that neither will'd nor ran.

2 Grand as the Bosom whence thou flow'd,
Kind as the Heart that gave thee Vent;
Rich as the Gift that God bestow'd,
And lovely like the Christ he sent.

3 Sin reign'd to Death; but over Sin
And Death, with more impartial Sway,
Grace spreads her more extensive reign,
And does eternal Life convey.

4 For us Salvation wide displays,
Her ample all-refreshing Wing;
Safe in the Shade free Grace we praise,
And all its peerless Glories sing.
