CCCVII. The Christian Scheme of Salvation worthy of GOD.

IMMORTAL GOD, on Thee we call,
The great Original of all;
Thro' Thee we are, to Thee we tend,
Our sure Support, our glorious End.

We praise that wise mysterious Grace,
That pitied our revolted Race,
And Jesus, our victorious Head,
The Captain of Salvation made.

He, thine eternal Love decreed,
Should many Sons to Glory lead;
And sinful Worms to him are giv'n,
A Colony to people Heav'n.

Jesus for us, (O gracious Name!)
Encounter'd Agony and Shame:
Jesus, the glorious and the great,
Was by dire Suff'rings made compleat.

A Scene of Wonders here we see,
Worthy thy Son, and worthy Thee:
And while this Theme employs our Tongues,
All Heav'n unites its sweetest Songs.
