Let thine Illumination Set Heart and Hands aright, That this my Preparation Be pleasing in thy Sight. II. Whilst with the gayest Flowers Thy Sion strews the way, I'll raise with all my Powers To Thee, a grateful Lay: To Thee the King of Glory I'll tune a Song Divine; And make thy Love's bright Story In graceful Numbers shine. III. What hast thou not performed, Lord, to retrieve my Loss, While I was so deformed By Sin and Hellish Dross? The Sense of lost Salvation Quite drove me to Despair, But thy own Incarnation Brought my Redemption near. IV. I lay in Fetters groaning, Thou cam'st to set me free. My Shame I was bemoaning; With Grace thou cloathedst me. Thou raisest me to Glory; Endow'st me with thy Bliss, Which is not transitory, As worldly Treasure is. V. What caus'd thy Incarnation? What brought Thee down to me? Thy Love to my Salvation Contriv'd my Liberty. O Love, beyond Expression! Wherewith thou dost embrace Mankind in its Digression From Thee, the Source of Grace. VI. Let this Consideration Heal up your wounds within, Ye Sons of Desolation, That feel the Smart of Sin. Take Courage, your Salvation Stands waiting at the door; The Gospel Consolation Is nearer than before. VII. 'Tis none of your Endeavour, Nor any Mortal Care Cou'd draw his Sav'reign Favour To Sinners in Despair; Uncall'd he comes with Gladness To save you from the Fall, And cure all Grief and Sadness You're still opprest withal. VIII. Be not cast down nor frighted At Sin, tho' ne'er so great; No! Jesus is delighted The Greatest to remit. He comes repenting Sinners With Life and Love to crown; And make them happy Winners Of Glory like his own. IX. Then fear not ye the Clamour Of Satan and his Clan; The Word, his pow'rful Hammer, Destroys their wicked Plan. He comes as King of Glory, Whose Nod confounds their Host; He carries all before ye, And baffles all their Boast. X. He comes to pass his Sentence On all his Enemies. But Children of Repentance Shall meet with Love and Peace. Come, Prince of Grace and Wonder! Fetch thy Beloved Home; Reveal thy Glories yonder; Thy longing Spouse says, Come! Languages: English

Christ, found in Fashion as a Man
