Hymns for Love, 13

Thou God unknown,
For whom I groan
Till the dark hour is over,
God in Christ reveal Thy Son,
Thyself in Christ discover.

The world through Him
Thou didst redeem;
By His most precious passion.
By His agonies extreme.
He purchased my salvation.

Yet without Thee
I cannot see
My interest in my Saviour
Tell my heart He died for me.
For me deserved Thy favour.

Bought with His blood,
O that I could
Lay hold on Jesus' merit,
Pardon'd by a dying God,
Enlighten'd by Thy Spirit.

Thou God of grace
My darkness chase,
In goodness pass before me.
Show Thyself in Jesus' face,
And manifest Thy glory.

Then, then I see
The Deity
On ransom'd sinners smiUng, —
To Thyself the world, and me
Benignly reconciling.

Thy loving son
With Jesus one,
I then shall fall before Thee,
Bold address Thy gracious throne,
And worthily adore Thee.

Me from my Lord

heaven restored,
Nor life nor death shall sever;
Crown'd with love's immense reward,
With love which reigns for ever!
