My eyes with joy and wonder see What forms of love he bears for me. 3 [Arrayed in mortal flesh, He like an angel stands, And holds the promises And pardons in his hands; Commissioned from his Father’s throne, To make his grace to mortals known.] 4 [Great Prophet of my God, My tongue would bless thy name; By thee the joyful news Of our salvation came; The joyful news of sins forgiven, Of hell subdued, and peace with heaven.] 5 [Be thou my Counsellor, My Pattern, and my Guide; And through this desert land, Still keep me near thy side; O let my feet ne’er run astray, Nor rove, nor seek the crooked way!] 6 [I love my Shepherd’s voice; His watchful eyes shall keep My wandering soul among The thousands of his sheep; He feeds his flock, he calls their names; His bosom bears the tender lambs.] 7 [To this dear Surety’s hand Will I commit my cause; He answers and fulfils His Father’s broken laws. Behold my soul at freedom set; My Surety paid the dreadful debt.] 8 [Jesus, my great High Priest, Offered his blood and died; My guilty conscience seeks No sacrifice beside. His powerful blood did once atone, And now it pleads before the throne.] 9 [My Advocate appears For my defence on high; The Father bows his ears, And lays his thunder by. Not all that hell or sin can say, Shall turn his heart, his love away.] 10 [My dear, almighty Lord, My Conqueror and my King, Thy sceptre and thy sword, Thy reigning grace I sing; Thine is the power; behold, I sit, In willing bonds, beneath thy feet.] 11 [Now let my soul arise, And tread the tempter down! My Captain leads me forth To conquest and a crown. A feeble saint shall win the day, Though death and hell obstruct the way.] 12 Should all the hosts of death, And powers of hell unknown, Put their most dreadful forms Of rage and mischief on, I shall be safe, for Christ displays Superior power and guardian grace.

He smarts beneath a Father’s rod, And roars aloud, “Why, O my God, Hast thou forsaken me?” 5 [May all my Saviour’s love and smart, Be sweetly graven on my heart, And with me fast abide; And let me sing thy praises well, And love thee more than I can tell, And trust in none beside.] Languages: English

Preserve us from running on rocks or on shelves, >From foes strong and cunning, and most from ourselves. 6 Reign o’er us as King, accomplish thy will, And powerfully bring us forth from all ill; Till, falling before thee, we laud thy loved name, Ascribing the glory to God and the Lamb.

(Gadsby's Hymns) #142 (1844) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ Lyrics: 1 Go worship at Immanuel’s feet; See in his face what wonders meet, Earth is too narrow to express His worth, his glory, or his grace. 2 [The whole creation can afford But some faint shadows of my Lord; Nature, to make his beauties known, Must mingle colours not her own.] 3 [Is he compared to Wine or Bread? Dear Lord, our souls would thus be fed. That flesh, that dying blood of thine, Is bread of life, is heavenly wine.] 4 [Is he a Tree? the world receives Salvation from his healing leaves; That righteous branch, that fruitful bough, Is David’s root and offspring too.] 5 [Is he a Rose? not Sharon yields Such fragrancy in all her fields; Or if the Lily he assume, The valleys bless the rich perfume.] 6 [Is he a Vine? his heavenly root Supplies the boughs with life and fruit; O let a lasting union join My soul to Christ, the living Vine!] 7 [Is he a Head? each member lives, And owns the vital power he gives – The saints below and saints above, Joined by his Spirit and his love.] 8 [Is he a Fountain? there I bathe, And heal the plague of sin and death; These waters all my soul renew, And cleanse my spotted garments too.] 9 [Is he a Fire? he’ll purge my dross; But the true gold sustains no loss; Like a refiner shall he sit, And tread the refuse with his feet.] 10 [Is he a Rock? how firm he proves! The Rock of Ages never moves; Yet the sweet streams that from him flow, Attend us all the desert through.] 11 [Is he a Way? he leads to God; The path is drawn in lines of blood; There would I walk with hope and zeal, Till I arrive at Zion’s hill. 12 Is he a Door? I’ll enter in; Behold the pastures large and green; A paradise divinely fair; None but the sheep have freedom there.] 13 [Is he designed the Corner-stone, For men to build their heaven upon? I’ll make him my foundation too, Nor fear the plots of hell below.] 14 [Is he a Temple? I adore The indwelling majesty and power; And still to his most holy place, Whene’er I pray, I’ll turn my face.] 15 [Is he a Star? he breaks the night, Piercing the shades with dawning light; I know his glories from afar, I know the bright, the Morning Star.] 16 [Is he a Sun? his beams are grace, His course is joy and righteousness; Nations rejoice when he appears To chase their clouds and dry their tears.] 17 O let me climb those higher skies, Where storms and darkness never rise! Where he displays his powers abroad, And shines and reigns the incarnate God. 18 Nor earth, nor seas, nor sun, nor stars, Nor heaven his full resemblance bears; His beauties we can never trace, Till we behold him face to face.
