What think you of Christ

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCCXI (1791) First Line: What think you of Christ? is the Test Lyrics: 1 What think you of Christ? is the Test To try both your State and your Scheme; You cannot be right in the Rest, Unless you think rightly of him. As Jesus appears in your View, As he is beloved or not; So God is disposed to you And Mercy or Wrath are your Lot. 2 Some take him a Creature to be, A Man, or an Angel at most; Sure these have not Feelings like me, Nor know themselves wretched, and lost; So Guilty, so Helpless, am I, I durst not confide in his Blood, Nor on his Protection rely, Unless I were sure he is God. 3 Some stile him The Pearl of great Price, And say, "He's the Fountain of Joys;" Ye feed upon Folly and Vice, And cleave to the World and its Toys; Like Judas the Saviour they kiss, And while they salute him betray; Ah! what will Profession like this Avail in his terrible Day? 4 If ask'd, what of Jesus I think? Tho' still my best Thoughts are but poor; I say, He's my Meat and my Drink, My Life, and my Strength, and my Store; My Shepherd, my Husband my Friend, My Saviour from Sin and from Thrall; My Hope from Beginning to End, My Portion, my Lord, and my All.
