L. Christ's Commission

1 Come, happy souls, approach your God,
With new melodious songs;
Come, tender to almighty grace
The tribute of your tongues.

2 So strange, so boundless was the love
That pity'd dying men,
The Father sent his equal Son
To give them life again.

3 Thy hands, my Saviour, were not arm'd
With a revenging rod;
No hard commission to perform
The vengeance of a God.

4 But all was mercy — all was love
And wrath forsook the throne;
When Christ descended from above,
And brought salvation down.
