Gratitude to God for Redemption

Author: D. Turner Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #LXXIII (1792) Hymnal Title: A Selection of Hymns First Line: Shall Jesus descend from the skies Lyrics: 1 Shall Jesus descend from the skies, To atone for our sins by his blood, And shall we such goodness despise, And rebels still be to our God? 2 [No brute could be ever so base! Shall man thus ungrateful then prove? Forbid it, O God of all grace; Forbid it, thou spirit of love! 3 The devils would laugh us to scorn, For folly so shameful as this; O let us to God then return, Sure never was goodness like his.] 4 He sav'd us, or we had been lost, Nor comfort nor hope had e'er known; Yet he knew this salvation would cost No less than the blood of his son. 5 Thro' him we forgiveness shall find, And taste the sweet blessings of peace, If contrite and humbly resign'd, We trust in his promised grace, 6 This world then with all its gay joy, That its thousands has snar'd and undone, May tempt, but shall never destroy, Whom Jesus has mark'd for his own. 7 While here thro' the desert we stray, Our God shall be all our delight, Our pillar of cloud in the day, And also of fire in the night: 8 'Till, 'th' Jordan of death safely pass'd, We land on the heavenly shore, Where we the hid manna shall taste, Nor hunger nor thirst any more. 9 And there while his glories we see, And feast on the joys of his love, We chang'd to his likeness shall be, And then shall all gratitude prove.
