Genesis 28: Redeemer of mankind
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Redeemer of mankind.
Who on Thy name rely
A constant intercourse we find
Open'd 'twixt earth and sky:
Mercy and grace and peace
Descend through Thee alone,
And Thou dost all our services
Present before the throne.
On us Thy Father's love
Is for Thy sake bestow'd;
Thou art our Advocate above,
Thou art our way to God:
Our way to God we trace,
And, through Thy name forgiven,
From step to step, from grace to grace.
On Thee we climb to heaven.
