Hymnal: The Psalms of David #III.XI (1766) Lyrics: 1 Lord, how divine thy Comforts are;
How heav'nly is the Place,
Where Jesus spreads the sacred Feast
Of his redeeming Grace!
2 There the rich Bounties of our God,
And sweetest Glories shine;
There Jesus says, that I am his,
And my Beloved's mine.
3 Here (says the kind, redeeming Lord,
And shews his wounded Side)
See here the Spring of all your Joys
That open'd when I dy'd."
[4 He smiles and chears my mournful Heart,
And tells of all his Pain,
All this, said he, I bore for thee,
And then he smiles again.]
5 What shall we pay our heav'nly King
For Grace so vast as this?
He brings our Pardon to our Eyes,
And seals it with a Kiss.
[6 Let such amazing Loves as these
Be sounded all abroad;
Such Favours are beyond Degrees,
And worthy of a God.]
7 To him that wash'd us in his Blood
Be everlasting Praise,
Salvation, Honour, Glory, Pow'r,
Eternal as his Days.] Topics: Pardon brought to our Senses Languages: English
